How to get SMC version for 2018 Mac mini

Question

I bumped into a problem, when my USB and USB-C ports stopped working (all except 1) when coming out of sleep mode. I could fix this only by SMC reset (unplugging power for > 15 sec), after that all ports are working again.

I want to check which SMC version my Mac mini has, but I can't see it in System Report/Hardware:

Where can I check SMC version for this model?

Answer 1

On Mac's with the Apple T2 Security Chip, the System Management Controller (SMC) is part of the SoC of the T2 chip and does not report the SMC version like the Mac's without the T2 chip, which is why you do not see it under Hardware Overview.

You can select Hardware > Controller to see the firmware version of the Apple T2 Security Chip.
