[BUG] For DT systems, SoC compatible may be not the 2nd compatible string #1997
Description
Read the FAQ first
- I have checked the FAQ but the issue is not covered
Description
Running fastfetch on some SoM-based boards (e.g. Lichee Pi 4A) will show the name of SoM in the CPU field because of it being the 2nd compatible string in DT's root compatible.
An example on Lichee Pi 4A:
CPU: lichee-module-4a (4)
A hexdump of the /proc/device-tree/compatible file:
root@lpi4a66 [ ~ ] # hexdump -C /proc/device-tree/compatible
