sbcidentity

A simple library for identifying the SBC on which the library is running. See the cli for a simple example of usage. This can be used as an import or install the CLI version.

Currently supported boards:

• Raspberry Pis
• Various Jetson boards

Package

Install the package with

go get github.com/rinzlerlabs/sbcidentify@latest

To identify a board, simply import

"github.com/rinzlerlabs/sbcidentify"

Then to identify the board

board, err := sbcidentify.GetBoardType()

To check if a board is a specific type for hardware specific code, you can use sbcidentify.IsBoardType(). The boards definitions are structured such that they go from least to most restrictive.

For example, if you have code that should only run on Raspberry Pi boards, you can do

if sbcidentify.IsBoardType(raspberrypi.RaspberryPi) {
	// do Pi specifc stuff
}

If you need to be more restrictive, say, only Raspberry Pi 5 boards

if sbcidentify.IsBoardType(raspberrypi.RaspberryPi5) {
	// do Pi 5 specifc stuff
} else if sbcidentify.IsBoardType(raspberrypi.RaspberryPi4) {
  // do Pi 4 specific stuff
} else {
  // fallback
}

The device tree heirarchies look like:
