The command can be used to show various information that can be used to identify the running system.
Currently supported subcommands are:
- model: A string representing the model
- id: The id of the board
- revision: The revision of this board.
How does this differ from the bdinfo and some of the other commands that provide similar info?
If I'm not wrong, the bdinfo command is about showing what hardware is present on the board. The sysinfo command is about showing board identification information.
Why can't bdinfo be extended rather than adding yet another command?
It could , but it feels like overloading bdinfo . Sysinfo is system identification (i.e. stuff in eeprom), bdinfo is things like memory layout.
