The newest bios version for that board available. You can only update a motherboard bios to an update that is available for that board, they aren't universal. The best thing to do when getting a motherboard or building a new computer is  upgrade it to the newest available at the time of purchase, if it is a used board or one that you are currently using with a different CPU it will need to have the latest available update to run the 3600 anyway, or if bought new will need to have the update that has support for Ryzen 3000 CPUs. It likely has one from september or august of last year that will say "support for Zen2 CPUs" it needs to have at least that bios version, but again typically updating to the newest available version is the easiest and best way to make sure it is up to date and will work. Keep in mind that some boards have beta versions and personally I avoid them until they become a stable release.

First you need to know what version the motherboard is currently running, once you know which version it's on then you can update it to a newer version if necessary. If you don't already have the motherboard you will need to wait until you get it. If it's brand new from newegg or amazon it will say on the box when you recieve it "Ryzen 3000 Desktop Ready" if it says that on the box then you will just need to update to the newest available driver if it doesn't then you will need an older Ryzen 2000 or 1000 CPU to update it to the newest bios version. You can't do anything until you have the motherboard in hand.

Do you have it already or did you buy it new and haven't received the parts yet?
