xSysInfo

xSysInfo is a comprehensive system information utility designed for AmigaOS. It provides detailed insights into your Amiga system's hardware and software configuration, along with benchmarking capabilities.

Note: This program does not contain any code from the original AmigaOS SysInfo tool.

Features

• Detailed Hardware Information: Get in-depth reports on your CPU, memory, drives (including SCSI), expansion boards, and cache.
• Software Environment Overview: View details about your AmigaOS software setup.
• Benchmarking: Includes Dhrystone benchmarks to assess your system's performance.
• Graphical User Interface (GUI): User-friendly interface for easy navigation and information display.
• Printing Support: Print out system reports for documentation or sharing (For now, the output is saved to a file in RAM:)
• Localization: Supports multiple languages for its interface.

Building xSysInfo

To build xSysInfo, you will need a GCC cross-compiler for m68k-amigaos (e.g., m68k-amigaos-gcc). The build process also requires make, curl, md5sum, and lha to handle external dependencies.

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/reinauer/xsysinfo.git
   cd xsysinfo
   git submodule update --init

2. Build the project: The Makefile will automatically handle fetching and building necessary third-party libraries (flexcat and identify).

   make

3. Create an Amiga Disk File (ADF): You can create a bootable .adf image containing xSysInfo and its necessary libraries using xdftool.

   make disk

   This will generate xsysinfo-<version>.adf in the project root.

Running xSysInfo

The primary way to run xSysInfo on a real Amiga is via a GOTEK drive using the generated xsysinfo-<version>.adf disk image.

You can also run the ADF on an Amiga emulator (like WinUAE or FS-UAE).

Additionally, the xsysinfo binary itself can be executed directly from the shell on a real Amiga or emulator.

Configuration

You can select whether xSysInfo is started in a window or on its own screen by specifying a DISPLAY ToolType. DISPLAY=auto is the default and will select window when your screen resolution is larger than 640x512, as xSysInfo is assuming RTG mode. For lower resolutions it will start on a PAL or NTSC screen. You can force either behavior with DISPLAY=window or DISPLAY=screen.

Dependencies

xSysInfo utilizes the following third-party projects:

• FlexCat: For catalog and localization file handling. (https://github.com/adtools/flexcat)
• Identify: For identifying various hardware components, including PCI devices. (https://codeberg.org/shred/identify)
• openpci.library: For PCI device access.
• fd2pragma: Tool to create header files with pragma statements. (https://github.com/adtools/fd2pragma)
