#21 Request to support LoongArch ISA

[Qi Liang]

The LoongArch architecture is a RISC-style ISA developed by Loongson. I write to request nmon to support LoongArch ISA, so that nmon can collect data from LoongArch Linux easily.

I did some investigation. Some code changes are required to show CPU information correctly in the Welcome view and Resource view, based on cpuinfo or lscpu output from Linux on LoongArch. The other functionalities like CPU utilization, memory, or disk seem working well.

Before submitting the patch, I wonder your thoughts about this support request and any other I should update for a new ISA support.

Thanks!

Sorry for the delay.
I have no hardware of this type.
Can you retry the latest nmon version?
Can you supply /proc/cpuinfo and lscpu examples?

Hi Nigel,

The /proc/cpuinfo and lscpu examples are attached as you requested.

Thanks!

Looking into this more.
Some of the welcome info is from
/etc/*ease
*easecatches the filenames ending Release or release.
Can you send a copy?
Also can you take a snapshot of the Welcome screen so I know exactly what needs fixing.
Cheers Nigel
