SXISID(4)
π SXISID(4) β the sxisid manual page, bestie edition π
okay so this is sxisid(4), a kernel interfaces manual page, and honestly? it's short, it's sweet, and it's giving "tiny driver, big main character energy." let's get into it β¨
πΈ NAME πΈ
sxisid β Allwinner security ID
like, that's it. that's the whole name. the driver is called sxisid and what it does is handle the Allwinner security ID situation. iconic, lowkey π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
sxisid* at fdt?
that's the whole config line, no cap. the * means it can be attached at any unit number, at fdt? means it hangs off the flattened device tree, and the ? on the end means it's optional β it might be there, it might not, vibe check π¦
π DESCRIPTION π
so here's the tea: the sxisid driver provides support for reading the on-chip eFuses integrated on various Allwinner SoCs.
eFuses, if you were wondering β those are little one-time-programmable bits baked right into the chip. the driver's whole job is letting you read them. that's it. that's the function. she reads, she slays, she does not write π
also important: this works on various Allwinner SoCs, not just one. plural. multiple. a whole roster of them π
π SEE ALSO π

the sxisid device driver first appeared in OpenBSD 6.7. so she's been on the scene since 6.7 β not a newbie, not ancient either. a solid year. a timeless queen, honestly β
π§ AUTHORS π§
the sxisid driver was written by Krystian Lewandowski and Mark Kettenis <kettenis@openbsd.org>. two whole legends. we stan collaborative authorship, fr fr π
ok that's literally the entire page β no options, no flags, no environment variables, no exit statuses, no bugs section, no warnings. she's a minimal queen and we respect it π
and finally, the cute sign-off: this page lives in the Debian build of the manual, dated June 20, 2020, and it's the SXISID(4) page forever and always πβ¨ bye bestie, go read some eFuses π¦
