Can anyone tells me how to read some infos from the cpu such as the usage percentage, or the temperature?

ACPI. Or whatever special interface the specific CPU family you are thinking of supports...

You can't read usage percentage. You will have to calculate that yourself.

You can get CPU model by using the CPUID asm command...

Code: Select all

static void newcpuid(unsigned long op, unsigned long v[4])
{
__asm__ ("cpuid": "=a" (v[0]), "=b" (v[1]), "=c" (v[2]), "=d" (v[3]):"a" (op));
}
