Having just read the help file I see what you mean. I was expecting to
see some sort of mention in there about the work that Willi Theiss did
to make it work on OMAP4!
So to make sure you have the latest version open up the BASIC
!RunImage into your favourite text editor and check lines 1 to 5 they
should say this:
1 REM >!RunImage
2 REM For !CPUTmpMon
3 REM Version 2.01 (18.02.2012)
4 REM (c) WPB, 2010
5 REM OMAP4 version by Willi Theiß
If it does then you're safe to run it :-)
The only reason I have mentioned this is because of that wretched help
file!

You own an ARMiniX so without even having to use software I can tell
you that you have a 1.2GHz OMAP4460 SOC, a TW6040 Audio helper chip, a
TWL6030 power helper chip, a SMSC LAN9514 Ethernet/USB chip, 1GB of
LDDR2 RAM and various other sundries off the top of my head. Is there
anything else you require?
There's a little BASIC program called PB_CPUdetect which will tell you
what SOC you have and at what speed it is running at.
