[Linuxppc-users] dmidecode package for ppc64le ?

[Steve Munroe]

dmidecode is x86 specific. Most of which does not apply to POWER or
PowerISA,

 What are you trying to defined out?

A lot of information is in the Aux Vector:

With newer GLIBC you can access the AUXV at runtime via getauxval:

https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_mono/libc.html#Definition-of-getauxval

With newer GCC you can access AT_PLATFORM and AT_HWCAP/AT_HWCAP2 info via
__builtin_cpu_is / __builtin_cpu_supports

Hi all,

Is there any dmidecode package available for ppc64le ?  Or is it x86 only ?
