Subject: [PATCH v4] cmd: mem: add function for getting ram size for use in scripts
Date: Sun, 18 Jan 2026 11:50:20 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260118105021.19760-1-linux@fw-web.de> (raw)
From: Frank Wunderlich <frank-w@public-files.de>
Add a command for getting detected ram size with possibility to write
to environment variable.
example usage:
BPI-R4> msize
4294967296
BPI-R4> msize m
4096m
BPI-R4> msize g
4g
BPI-R4> msize g ramsize
BPI-R4> printenv ramsize
ramsize=4
BPI-R4>
board with 8GB ram:
BPI-R4> msize
8589934592
BPI-R4> msize m
8192m
BPI-R4> msize g
8g
BPI-R4> msize g ramsize
BPI-R4> printenv ramsize
ramsize=8
BPI-R4>

v4: drop rounding to full MB/GB as it leads to wrong display
v3: add missing ifdefs
v2: add Kconfig entry
