Re: Accessing processor name programmatically


Try IOCTL_PROCESSOR_INFORMATION instead:

And cross-posting is evil, of course.

Is there a way to access the Processor name programmatically? I'm
referring to the information that is displayed under Start -> Settings
-> System tab -> About -> Version tab.

For example on some Treo models, the Processor is "SC32442A-300MHz"

What we've tried so far:
- The GetSystemInfo API: But this only gives us generic information
like MIPS, ARM etc.
- The SystemParametersInfo API with the SPI_GETOEMINFO flag: But this
gives us the "name" of the device like "Palm Treo 700w" etc.

What we're looking for is a method to identify the processor - an
Intel (PXA) chip, or a Samsung (SC32442A/B) chip, or a TI (OMAP) chip.
We're working with WM5/6 devices.

Thanks in advance!

Cheers
