I need to know the data bus width.
I know the Debian version number is stored in /etc/debian_version .
How do I find if the installed OS is 32 or 64 bit?
How do I discover the CPU's bus width?
uname -a
The output of
Linux debian12 6.1.0-28-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.119-1
(2024-11-22) x86_64 GNU/Linux
Is clear. I *like*!
This will tell you the kernel version, including the bus width
(Note: it is possible to install a 32-bit kernel on a 64-bit processor)
That is the case of interest. I'm fairly certain that it has 32 bit
Debian installed. I need to know if the processor is 64 bit capable.
cat /proc/cpuinfo
This will tell you all about the processor(s).
But as I replied to alain, I didn't find the data buss width clearly
identified.
TIA
