<![CDATA[How to detect SBC model?]]>I have 2 SBCs - Raspberry Pi & Asus Tinker board.
I’m not an expert of sysadmin, so I have no idea how to distinguish these 2 devices programmatically. Is there any common way to detect OS and device among these kinds of SBCs?

Asus Tinker board.

A question out of context,

Does this mirror application works properly (including electron) in Asus Tinker board.?

Thanks

So therefore I would prefer a config option as it doesn’t depend on something else.

I know that is the easiest way. If I could not find any proper solution, I’ll do it.
But Just want to know.

That is only I know. But I believe there is something better… like /proc/hardware/board…

By example, the thermal zone virtual file, default sound configuration, I want to make a module to work conditionally by device. But I don’t know how to detect it programmatically. If my module is running on ATB, do something A, and if running on RPI do something B… etc.
