It's not possible to run dmidecode due to default security settings in OpenBSD 6.6. How to detect computer form-factor from the command line?
Thanks.
How to detect computer form-factor on OpenBSD 6.6 w/o the dmidecode?
aponomarenko your posts made me curious about whatever cross-bsd hardware info fetch utility you're working on 
.
That said, isn't sysctl hw enough for your needs?

It's hw-probe for BSD. I ask here some Linux-BSD porting questions that I could not find answers on the network.
Probably I can guess the form-factor based on the devices list, but looking for a more effective way.
aponomarenko no problem, ask anytime, and good luck with your project

Just released a preview: https://github.com/bsdhw/Intro
Please help to test it if you can find little time. This will help a lot.
aponomarenko nice work.. i will upload my probe soon

aponomarenko I'll make sure to test it the sooner 
, thanks

aponomarenko also this user is getting false error for FreeBSD system https://twitter.com/antranigv/status/1263889902913097730?s=19

can i run this from a live USB boot to see if my hardware would be compatible?
Only if it's not read-only. Because it requires to install several packages to run.
One can try nomadbsd usb live image for example.

The only solution I've found:
If hw.sensors.acpibat0 exists then it's a laptop, else it's a desktop.
