.SH NAME

dphys-kernel-cputype \- determine which custom kernel to use
.SH SYNOPSIS

.B dphys-kernel-cputype

.SH DESCRIPTION

dphys-kernel-cputype determines what processor type, if SMP is used and memory
site and generates an descriptor string showing all of these.
.PP
The string is compatible with that used by \fIdphys-kernel-packages\fP(1) to
generate kernel configs and name the generated /lib/modules/*/* and kernel .deb
packages. So it can be used to select what custom kernel and modules to
install, such as by \fIdphys-admin\fP(8)
.PP
Result is an string of format <\fIprocessor\fP>[\fB-smp\fP]-<\fImemory\fP>.
<\fIprocessor\fP> can be any of \fBp1\fP, \fBp3\fP, \fBp4\fP, \fBk7\fP or
\fBk8\fP. \fB-smp\fP is added if SMP support is wanted. \fImemory\fP can be any
of \fB1gb\fP, \fB4gb\fP or \fB64gb\fP. Examples: p1-1gb p3-1gb p4-4gb
k7-smp-1gb k7-smp-64gb k8-4gb.
.PP
The lshw program is required to find out what hardware is present.
