Log Useful Hardware Details At Start-up
When an imp-enabled development is powered up or restarts, it does not present any information about the device state, such as which impOS™ version it is running, how it is connected to the Internet, or what event may have prompted the restart.
All of this information is available to Squirrel, via a number of imp API methods. The following code uses these methods to provide useful device information at start-up. Typically you will place the code toward the top of your device code listing.
Here is a typical log output from the code for a WiFi device:
