Possibility to read info from OpenWRT devices

[yeyeto2788]

Hello guys!

I'm trying to get all info to add the Onion Omega (first version) into the project, digging a bit through the code I see that you're using a regex looking in the /proc/cpuinfo so it is possible to add the board into the project so it detects the board as the Onion Omega or at least as generic OpenWRT device?

How can I proceed with it?

Just in case, here you have some info that might help with it:

you can use whatever you like, maybe 'machine' and 'system type' would be more useful for you? please submit a PR for whatever hardware detection you need :)

Hey @ladyada,

Ok, I'll make a PR with your proposal.

After the detection is done, can you please point me out to what are the next steps into making blinka available for this board?

Regards.

[ladyada]

@makermelissa can help you out :)

@ladyada thanks for the reply! @makermelissa I hope I did it right. If there is anything else I can do just let me know.

Regards.

Hi, I commented on the PR. I just noticed in your summary there is a system type field that has the AR9330 or the cpu model of MIPS 24Kc. If we could use either of those for the chip (preferably the cpu model), that would be excellent.

Hey @makermelissa thanks for taking the time on reviewing the PR. That sounds great, I'll make the changes to the PR regarding this.

Regards.

Ok, this has now been merged into PlatformDetect. Here's my cpuinfo dump off the Omega2 for completeness:
