Overview

The HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) API provides information about CPU type, architecture, and clock speed. However, wrong values are reported for most S60 3rd Edition devices.

Description

The following code returns wrong values for CPU clock speed and CPU ABI (Application Binary Interface):

 #include <hal.h>
 
 TInt cpuSpeed, cpuABI, ret;
 
 ret = HAL::Get( HALData::ECPUSpeed, cpuSpeed );
 ret = HAL::Get( HALData::ECPUABI, cpuABI );

Solution

No known solution.

Device specification pages on Forum Nokia provide information on CPU type and clock speed.
