Useful to have an easy way to compare.

Charles_Gantt It looks like the table may have a typo - the architecture of the RPi 2B V1.2 should be the same as Pi 3B...

I created a simple script that will do this. I used the data above, but since it's an image, there may be typos.

Copy the script to revinfo; chmod +x and run on your Pi. It's all bash (shell), so it should run under any Pi OS.

To see the whole list (for verification) run it with 'dump" as an argument (e.g. ./revinfo dump). Note that dump isn't in EXACTLY the same order as the table.

It should be easy for you to maintain. I'll post it over on the RPi forums, but since the data and idea came from here, I thought I'd post it here first...

Enjoy.

Hey [mention:b9a2161df40e46249934044770b656a6:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] (or any pi afficionados) - can you help answer this question? Does the thickness vary across models/versions?

And an interesting history of Raspberry Pi cases: RPi Cases - eLinux.org

Interesting resource that fills in the information missing above: RPi Hardware - eLinux.org

A quick Bash command for focusing on the desired string:

pi_rev=(`cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep Revision`); echo ${pi_rev[2]}

A better tool would be a Python or whatever program to incorporate this Bash logic and use the table provided by [mention:b9a2161df40e46249934044770b656a6:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] plus the others such as the Zero's info to display the running Pi's attributes based on the Revision string.

It's missing the Zero (both versions) ? There is also an A+ with 512MB of RAM I believe [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-338dfbec-44c5-48b6-be20-fb3bd202f455/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]

Otherwise, great overview!

Thank you [mention:b9a2161df40e46249934044770b656a6:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05]! Great piece of information. I especially like the cat/proc/cpuinfo to check remotely. This will be bookmarked!
