Everything your device knows about itself, gathered into one screen and split into sections.
Most of what you see here simply reports back to you, though a handful of entries will do something useful if you press A on them. Everything refreshes as you watch, so it is a good place to keep an eye on things.
This screen is split into sections. Press Left or Right to move between them, or use the shoulder buttons to do the same.
System
What your device is and what it is running.
Version
The MustardOS release installed on this device. Head to the Modifications section to see whether anything has been altered since it was installed.
Build
The build this release was made from. Worth quoting if you ever need to report a problem.
Device
The board that has been detected. Press START here to open the device settings, though only do so if you have been asked to.
Serial Number
The unique serial your device reports for itself.
Kernel
The Linux version underneath it all. Press A to see the name your device answers to on the network.
Architecture
The kind of processor MustardOS was built for.
Display
The resolution the interface is being drawn at.
Runtime
How your device has been getting on since you switched it on.
Uptime
How long it has been running since it last started.
Boot Time
When it last started up.
Load Average
How much work has been queued up over the last one, five, and fifteen minutes.
Tasks
How many things are running right now behind the scenes.
Memory
How much memory is in use. Press A to hand cached memory back to the system.
Swap
How much swap space is being used, if any has been set up.
Temperature
How warm the processor is at the moment.
Processor
The chip doing all the hard work.
Processor
The model of processor and how many cores it reports.
Speed
How fast the processor is running right this second.
Speed Range
The slowest and fastest it is allowed to run.
Governor
The rule deciding how the speed rises and falls with the work being asked of it.
Graphics
The graphics chip built into your device.
Graphics Speed
How fast the graphics chip is running right now.
Graphics Speed Range
The slowest and fastest the graphics chip is allowed to run.
Graphics Governor
The rule deciding how the graphics speed changes with the work being asked of it.
Battery
How the battery is doing at the moment.
Capacity
How much charge is left.
Voltage
The voltage the battery is currently supplying.
Status
Whether it is charging, discharging, or full.
Health
The condition the battery reports for itself.
Design Capacity
The capacity it was built with, before any wear crept in.
Charger
Whether a charger is plugged in right now.
Power History
What has happened since you last unplugged, and what the battery got up to while your device was switched off.
Last Charged
When the battery was last topped up.
Time on Battery
How long you have been running on battery since the charger came out.
Battery Used
How much charge has gone in that time, which is a good guide to how long you have left.
Battery at Shutdown
The battery level recorded the last time your device was shut down properly.
Battery at Boot
The battery level when your device next started up.
Time Powered Off
How long your device sat switched off between that shutdown and the following start.
Battery Change While Off
How much the battery level moved while your device was off. A negative value means charge was lost, while a positive one means it was charged in the meantime. A steady loss while switched off is worth keeping an eye on.
Network
Only appears on devices with networking. Shows where your device sits on the network.
Hostname
The name your device answers to on the network. Press A to change it, which needs the network disconnected first.
MAC Address
The hardware address of the network adapter.
IP Address
The address your device has been given on the network.
Network Name
The wireless network you are currently joined to.
Gateway
The router everything is being sent through.
DNS
The servers used to look up names on the network.
Signal
How strong the wireless signal is where you are sitting.
Traffic
Only appears on devices with networking. Shows how much has been going back and forth.
Channel
The wireless channel and band in use, handy when neighbouring networks are getting in the way.
Active Traffic
How much has been sent and received since the connection came up.
Total Traffic
How much has been sent and received all told.
Modifications
Checks the parts of MustardOS that should never change against the signed release they came from. Each entry shows Clean when it matches, or Modified when it does not. The checks run in the background when you open this screen, so you may briefly see them still checking.
Release Signature
Whether the list of files being checked carries a valid MustardOS release signature. If this one is not clean, the rest cannot be trusted either.
Release Metadata
Whether the signed details about this release are unchanged.
System Scripts
Whether the scripts that run MustardOS behind the scenes are exactly as they were shipped.
Kernel
Whether the kernel matches the one in the signed release.
Device Tree
Whether the hardware description your device starts with matches the signed release.
Initial Ramdisk
Whether the small starter system loaded before MustardOS itself matches the signed release.
Bootloader
Whether the very first thing your device runs when switched on matches the signed release.
Boot Resources
Whether the remaining protected files needed to start your device match the signed release.
Hidden Options
Export Device Details
Press X anywhere on this screen to write everything you see here out to a file. Very useful when someone is helping you sort out a problem.
Device Settings
Press START while Device is highlighted to open the device settings. These control very specific hardware behaviour and should not be changed unless a MustardOS developer has asked you to.
Quick Tips
Press Left or Right to move between sections, or use the shoulder buttons for the same thing.
The Network and Traffic sections only turn up on devices that have networking.
A Modified result is not always bad news. If you have deliberately customised your system it is expected, but if you have not, it is worth asking for help.
There may be something hiding behind one of these entries for the truly persistent. We are saying no more than that.
