Hey i am looking for example code / fucntion or procedure. To read the CPU usage. I do have running versions from this forum, but they only see to work for Win32.

I am cross compiling from win32 to ARM. So they need to work both.

Further i do not like txt file reading or a TProcess

Anybody got help?

It's less relevant that your compiling for ARM, but that your compiling for a different operating system, namely Linux (assuming you don't use Windows on ARM on your Pi), so you should search for how to retrieve the CPU usage on Linux (Hint: it's often called “system load” or similar, though that will be the total load across all cores).

And you'll simply have to ifdef your code and provide a suitable cross platform abstraction. Or maybe you'll find a cross platform abstraction, who knows. ;)

Please don't open duplicate posts. Somebody's already suggested a library in response to your earlier https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,59344.msg442391.html#msg442391

Why? if you're /cross/ compiling then only the target matters so

...that's what matters, the RPi /does/ have capabilities for getting at voltages etc. but if you start messing around with those all hope of something portable goes out of the window.

Tough, since utilities like top and ps refer to items in the /proc filesystem rather than having a binary API. However that is NOT a real directory and you are NOT reading real text files.

For windows, using the command line (wmic for example), itself takes a chunk of cpu every second.
The winapi method uses very little.
Sorry I don't have Linux, or know the Linux method, but I have a notion it might be easier than the Windows method.
But, if it is of any use to you, here is a winapi method.
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. uses
  2. windows,jwawinbase;
  3.  
  4. Function getsystemtime_CPU(var totalTime:qword;var idleTime:qword): boolean;
  5. var
  6. ftSysIdle, ftSysKernel, ftSysUser:filetime;
  7. sysKernel, sysUser, sysIdle:ularge_integer;
  8.         begin
  9.         If ((GetSystemTimes(@ftSysIdle, @ftSysKernel, @ftSysUser))=false) Then exit (false);
  10.         sysKernel.HighPart := ftSysKernel.dwHighDateTime;
  11.         sysKernel.LowPart := ftSysKernel.dwLowDateTime;
  12.         sysUser.HighPart := ftSysUser.dwHighDateTime;
  13.         sysUser.LowPart := ftSysUser.dwLowDateTime;
  14.         sysIdle.HighPart := ftSysIdle.dwHighDateTime;
  15.         sysIdle.LowPart := ftSysIdle.dwLowDateTime;
  16.         totalTime := sysKernel.QuadPart + sysUser.QuadPart;
  17.         idleTime := sysIdle.QuadPart;
  18.         exit(True);
  19. End;
  20.  
  21. procedure cpu;
  22. var
  23. totalprev:qword=0;
  24. totalcurr:qword=0;
  25. idleprev:qword=0;
  26. idlecurr:qword=0;
  27. total,idle:qword;
  28. usage:integer;
  29. s,use:ansistring;
  30. begin
  31. While True do
  32. begin
  33. s:='';
  34. total:=0;
  35. idle:=0;
  36.  Sleep(1000);
  37.  If ((getSystemtime_CPU(totalCurr, idleCurr))=true) Then
  38.         begin
  39.         total := totalCurr - totalPrev;
  40.         if (total>0) then
  41.         begin
  42.         idle := idleCurr - idlePrev;
  43.         usage:=trunc(100 * (total - idle) / (total));
  44.         Setlength(S,usage);
  45.           FillChar(S[1],usage,'*');
  46.            str(usage :3,use);
  47.         writeln('  ',use,' %','  ',s);
  48.         end;
  49.         totalPrev := totalCurr;
  50.         idlePrev := idleCurr;
  51.         end;   
  52. end;
  53. end;
  54.  
  55.  
  56.  
  57. begin
  58. cpu;
  59. end.
  60.  

Just click off the console when you are done.
