With CONFIG_PROC_DEVICETREE=y I get the following: $ cat /proc/device-tree/model Globalscale Technologies Dreamplug It seems to me (I have no strong opinion here, just playing devil's advocate) that /proc/cpuinfo is indeed telling us about the processor (Marvell Kirkwood ...) Should it really be describing the board? thx, Jason.
