I’m new to this forum, new to DietPi and fairly new to linux in general, but i already run into a problem, which i hope to solve with some help here
So i installed DietPi onto a Raspberry Pi 4, configured it (which is super easy - great work!), and successfully ran it for a few days. Then i looked into overclocking Raspberry Pis, and thought to give it a try.
I noticed in the DietPi-Config, that the “extreme” overclocking-option sets the CPU frequency to 1025MHz, which is odd considering the RPi4 runs at 1500MHz out of the box. I googled if somebody had the same issue, but didn’t really find nothing helpful, so i tried to solve it on my own and found 2 files:
dietpi-obtain_hw_model
.hw_model
and i figured dietpi-obtain_hw_model creates .hw_model, where the hardware-specs are stored.
Looking at .hw_model, i think that DietPi thinks it is an RPi2.
I edited dietpi-obtain_hw_model according to RPi4 hardware (just edited the “echo”-part at the end), and obviously i didn’t do a too bad job, because after a reboot it showed the correct overclocking options in DietPi-Config, and it worked.
But this is just a work around, and i have absolutely no idea why this is happening in the first place, so hopefully someone here can help me figure it out

Shouldn’t the model name of the cpu say ARMv8 or something like that?
At the bottom line it says Pi4 though
Hey MichaIng!
Thanks a lot, it seems like it works now!!
But i’m not sure if i did everything of what you postet in that github-comment right (regarding terminal commands), could you please have a schort look at this?

→ i just saw after inserting that terminal output, that eeprom-implementation comes with V6.27, so i guess i repeat that steps when i did the update?
