ISPI(4)

πŸ“¦ in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… ISPI(4) πŸ’…

ok so this is a page from the Kernel Interfaces Manual β€” yes, the kernel interfaces manual, we're doing big-kid stuff today bestie, and the star of the show is ispi πŸ’–


✨ NAME ✨

ispi β€” the Intel LPSS SPI controller. that's it, that's the whole name. short, iconic, no notes πŸŽ€


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ispi* at acpi?
ispi* at pci?

so ispi can show up two ways β€” hanging off acpi? or hanging off pci?. pick your fighter, both are valid, the * and the ? are doing their whole wildcard thing exactly like you'd expect πŸ¦‹


🫢 DESCRIPTION 🫢

okay so real talk: the ispi driver supports the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) controller that's baked into the Intel Low-Power Subsystem (LPSS). that's the whole description bestie, it's a short one β€” lowkey the manpage equivalent of a clean five-second get-ready-with-me πŸ™ˆ

ngl if you were hoping for a whole novel of options and flags, this is not that page. it's a device driver page. it does one thing and it does it πŸ’…

πŸ”₯ SEE ALSO πŸ”₯

  • acpi(4) β€” the ispi driver can attach at acpi?, so go read this one
  • pci(4) β€” and it can attach at pci? too, so this one's also your bestie

fr fr go read both, they're right there πŸ‘‘


🌈 HISTORY 🌈

the ispi device driver first appeared in OpenBSD 7.9 ⭐ so it's genuinely new-new, fresh out the box, main character energy from day one 🧚


that's the whole page!! short and slay πŸ’€ this was the ispi page from the Kernel Interfaces Manual β€” sourced from Debian, dated April 13, 2026 πŸ“ bye bestie, go read acpi(4) and pci(4) πŸ’œ
