Getting cpu type

[Umapathy S]

All,
I am trying to collect some machine details.

1. For the model 9000/899/K570, how can I get the processor type. I use the script below for other machines.

CPUVER=`echo "cpu_version/X" | adb -k $Kernel /dev/kmem | grep cpu_version| awk '{ if (NF == 2) {print $2}}'`
CPUREV=`echo "cpu_revision_number/X" | adb -k $Kernel /dev/kmem | grep cpu_revision_number | awk ' { if (NF == 2) {print $2}}'`
CPU_TYPE=`grep 0x$CPUVER /usr/include/sys/unistd.h | awk '{print $7}'`
CPU_BIT=`getconf HW_CPU_SUPP_BITS`

echo "Processor Type : " $CPU_TYPE $CPUVER"."$CPUREV - $CPU_BIT"Bit"

Is this model is only 32 bit?

thanks,
Umapathy

No help on your main question, but I do know that the K570 has a 200MHz PA-RISC PA8200 CPU. All the PA8xxx are 64bit. It is possible for the PA8000 & PA8200 to run a 32-bit OS (10.20, or 11.0/11.i set to 32-bit mode at install).

HTH.

No, the K570 is 64-bit capable. Have a look at the following chard for details:

It is possible that there may be a firmware issue that would limit you to 32 bits. You might need to update firmware.

[Umapathy S]

I will clarify more. It runs a 32 bit os. But , when I execute the above script it prints out junk values.

[Patrick Wallek]

What version of HP-UX are you running? What does the output look like when you run the script?

[Umapathy S]

Patrick, I am not supposed to worry about the firmware. When I run the above script on that particular model, I get the output as

Processor Type : which add, shift-and-add been MC68020 MC68030 MC68040 PA-RISC1.0 PA-RISC1.1 PA-RISC1.2 PA-RISC2.0 value give
n . - Bit

which is a junk for me. How can I get the same output which I get in other models in this type of model.

Its 10.20

[Patrick Wallek]

10.20 is your problem. 10.20 does not know anything about the HW_CPU_SUPP_BITS argument to getconf. 10.20 knows absolutely NOTHING about anything 64-bit.

I haven't tried the rest of your script, but I suspect most of your problems are because you are running it on 10.20. If you try it on an 11.X system, I bet you get the results you expect.

[Umapathy S]

Patrick, I wrote this script after referring some of the forum scripts.
In 11* boxes it works just fine. I also need to collect the same info on 10.2 boxes also. Is there any other way?

[Patrick Wallek]

No, there is now way to use the HW_CPU_SUPP_BITS in 10.20. It just doesn't exist.

I'm not entirely sure about the rest of it either. I think you may be out of luck on 10.20 systems.

Hello Umapathy,

I found this Webpage, where it gives info on how you can determine cpu architecture programmatically.

HTH.
