raspberry pi cpuinfo vs device-tree

Raspberry Pi cpuinfo vs device-tree

My attempt at gathering information on how to detect exactly which Raspberry Pi model we are running on for https://github.com/jperkin/node-rpio. The goal is to come up with an optimal way of detecting the host across a wide range of hardware and OS.

Open Questions

  • Is there any way to detect rev 1.0 vs rev 2.0 with the original Model B when running 7? Only newer releases identify the revision in /proc/device-tree/model. Just assume /proc/cpuinfo?.

How To Generate

The following script can be used to generate the data (assuming Raspbian or similar).

#!/bin/bash

. /etc/os-release

printf "cpuinfo:\t%s\n" "$(awk '/^Revision/ { print $NF }' /proc/cpuinfo)"
printf "dtmodel:\t%s\n" "$(</proc/device-tree/model)"
set -- $(xxd -l 16 -g 4 < /proc/device-tree/soc/ranges)
printf "socranges:\t%s %s %s\n" $2 $3 $4
printf "os:\t\t%s\n" "$VERSION_ID"
