/pi-info

Raspberry Pi information script

Primary LanguageShellMIT LicenseMIT

Intro

The pi-info was created at beginning only to show MAC addresses & SN (without the junk from /proc/cpuinfo and ip -4 addr show). Eventually I added more info that can be collected 😄

My primary objective was to not use any program that would user have to install, so I used what had at hand in clean Raspbian install (not lite nor noobs !! - I don't have them, so I didn't tested script on those ).

Script

Script uses:

  • /proc/cpuinfo
  • /sys/class/net/*
  • /sys/bus/mmc/*
  • ip -4 addr show dev xxxx
  • basic linux (bash) commands available in all distros: awk, sed, cut, ls, cat, etc...

Usage

Download the script to pi, e.g. by using wget:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/saper-2/pi-info/master/pi-info

Next set executable bit:

chmod +x pi-info

And run the script:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ./pi-info

Below is a screenshot of output from PuTTY : pi info script at work on RPi3

End.

The end :) The pi-info-scratchpad contains some commands, that I used to write the main script 😄
