hardware

I am trying to retrieve hardware informations from a series of devices, so far I used snmpget/snmpwalk with the following OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.2.1 but it returns very few informations, for example if I run this on my computer from a Windows OS I get those CPUs: Unknown Processor Unknown Processor Unknown Processor Unknown Processor Instead if I run the command from Debian I get the correct value: Genuine Intel: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 CPU M 330 @ 2.13GHz Guessing that there's a floating point co-processor I understand that Windows and Linux fill MIBs in a completely different way but, for istance

Under the total store order(TSO) memory consistency model, a x86 cpu will have a write buffer to buffer write requests and can serve reordered read requests from the write buffer. And it says that the write requests in the write buffer will exit and be issued toward cache hierarchy in FIFO order, which is the same as program order. I am curious about: To serve the write requests issued from the write buffer, does L1 cache controller handle the write requests, finish the cache coherence of the write requests and insert data into L1 cache in the same order as the issue order? I think you're

I have an android application which kind of like a home screen of the build-in screen on android phone. I can list all the available applications and run them. One thing I don't know how to do is when user run an application from my apps, my application can trigger the hardware menu button to show the current application menus. Is this possible ? If not, what about doing it if the device was rooted. In activity use override onKeyDown like this : @Override public boolean onKeyDown(int keycode, KeyEvent e) { switch(keycode) { case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MENU: doSomething(); return true; } return super

I could try to open it, but if it is use by another program I will get an error and I need to be able to distinguish that case from the case where the machine physically has no serial port. Any idea? You can use WMI. Have a look at my old post Just for complement the Serg answer, the Win32_SerialPort class used in this article reports the physical com ports, if you wanna enumerate all the serial ports including the USB-Serial/COM ports, you must use the MSSerial_PortName class located in the root\wmi namespace. uses SysUtils, ActiveX, ComObj, Variants; // Serial Port Name procedure GetMSSerial
