how to determine which processor module i'm using?

[cYc]

hi all,
i'm writing code to execute on either a WiPy or a GPy.
i need to determine at run time which module the code is running on so i can initialise LTE (GPy) or not (WiPy)
aside from using the try...except method to check for LTE modem presence is there an object i can query for a device id

i can't seem to find anything in the documentation.

any help will be appreciated

@cYc sys.platform will tell you.

import sys
print (sys.platform)

If you will need a more extensive platform switch, you are welcome to take our implementation [1] from the Universal MicroPython Application Loader.

More or less, it just wraps sys.platform and sys.implementation.

We are using it to run the Terkin-Datalogger on both ESP32 and STM32 plaforms and to decide whether it is running on Pycom MicroPython or Genuine MicroPython.

platform_info = PlatformInfo()

if platform_info.mcu == platform_info.MCU.ESP32:
    print('Running on ESP32')
elif platform_info.mcu == platform_info.MCU.STM32:
    print('Running on STM32')

if platform_info.vendor == platform_info.MICROPYTHON.Pycom:
    print('Running on Pycom MicroPython')
elif platform_info.vendor == platform_info.MICROPYTHON.Vanilla:
    print('Running on Genuine MicroPython')

With kind regards,
Andreas.
