Raspberry PI + LibreELEC displays wrong CPU Info

  • I use Raspberry PI 2 & 3 with LibreELEC.

    BTW, LibreELEC displays wrong CPU Infos.

    In RP2, displayed CPU info is as following.

    You can see "Hardware: BCM2835" but, as you know, RP2's CPU is BCM2836.

    CPU clock may be wrong also. It's not 600 MHz, but 900MHz.

    In RP3, problem is similar.

    RP3's CPU is BCM2837 but, you can see "BCM2835".

    CPU clock has same problem.

  • All pi hardware devices are a BCM2835 device; newer devices have been given a higher model number but it's the same chip with a higher clock speed. On a normal Linux kernel they all show up in /proc/cpuinfo as the same chip and Kodi reflects this. We are doing nothing wrong and you are not missing out on anything. Very much a case of "Nothing to see here.. move along please"
