How to get the processor serial number of Raspberr

Question

I need to get the processor serial number of a Raspberry Pi2 that is running windows 10 IoT.

Answer 1

I've extracted a code sample from the Microsoft's IoT Sample (IoTCoreDefaultApp) that might helpful to you to extract device information (unfortunately, processor serial number never exposed for programming).

How to get Windows IoT device's information:

Answer 2

Use this code to get device information.

            Windows.Security.ExchangeActiveSyncProvisioning.EasClientDeviceInformation deviceInfo= new Windows.Security.ExchangeActiveSyncProvisioning.EasClientDeviceInformation();

Answer 3

Usually this is within the Windows.System.Profile.HardwareIdentification namespace. Unfortunately, that's one of the unsupported namespaces with Win10 IoT Core.

Instead, to identify the metal, I'm using info from the network adaptor(s):

    public static HashSet<string> NetworkIds()
    {
        var result = new HashSet<string>();

        var networkProfiles = Windows.Networking.Connectivity.NetworkInformation.GetConnectionProfiles().ToList();

        foreach (var net in networkProfiles)
        {
            result.Add(net.NetworkAdapter.NetworkAdapterId.ToString());
        }

        return result;
    }

Of course, this is not completely error proof, but, so far, the only way I can see to get a reasonably reliable device ID.

Answer 4

The serial number can be found in /proc/cpuinfo

or you can use Basic Bash piping ie, cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep Serial | cut -d ':' -f 2
