Detailed Description

The Detect namespace contains several related functions to help determine if the device where the code is running is a BeagleBone Black, BeagleBone Green, or some other type of device.

For example, note the following code:

if (SG::BeagleBone::Detect::is_beaglebone_green_compatible())
{
    std::cout << "This device is a BeagleBone Green with Grove connections." << std::endl;
}
else if (SG::BeagleBone::Detect::is_beaglebone_black_compatible())
{
    std::cout << "This device is a BeagleBone Black." << std::endl;
}
else if (SG::BeagleBone::Detect::is_beaglebone_compatible())
{
    std::cout << "This device is a BeagleBone." << std::endl;
}
else
{
    std::cout << "This is an unknown type of computer." << std::endl;
}

In addition, the actual model name can also be obtained. This contains a single text string which looks similar to "TI AM335x BeagleBone Green". For example:

const std::string model = SG::BeagleBone::Detect::get_model();
std::cout << model << std::endl;

Typedef Documentation

Compatibilities

typedef std::vector<ECompatibility> SG::BeagleBone::Detect::Compatibilities

A vector of capabilities describing a device.

You'd typically obtain this by calling SG::BeagleBone::Detect::get_compatibilities(). BeagleBone devices typically report they are compatible with multiple devices. For example, a BeagleBone Green doesn't just call itself a BeagleBone Green, but also reports as a BeagleBone and a BeagleBone Black.

get_model()

std::string SG::BeagleBone::Detect::get_model

(

void

)

Return the device model or product name as a text string.

For example:

• TI AM335x BeagleBone Black
• TI AM335x BeagleBone Green

Note

Even on non-BeagleBone devices, this is likely to return a text string. For example, this can return strings such as "VirtualBox" or "Vostro 470".

Determine if the device compatibilities contains the given type.

For example:

if (SG::BeagleBone::Detect::has( SG::BeagleBone::Detect::ECompatibility::ti_am335x_bone_green_wireless ))
{
    // ...
}

The equivalent functionality can be obtained by calling the individual type functions, such as:

if (SG::BeagleBone::Detect::is_beaglebone_green_wireless_compatible())
{
    // ...
}
