π DALSMC_MSG_T...ableSmu2Dram(9) β Kernel API Manual π
okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual for DALSMC_MSG_T...ableSmu2Dram(9) β yes the title is truncated with ... because apparently even the kernel devs ran out of screen width, and honestly? iconic behavior. π
β¨ NAME β¨
DALSMC_MSG_TransferTableSmu2Dramβ transfers a PMFW table into DRAM. Slay, data goes in. πDALSMC_MSG_TransferTableDram2Smuβ transfers a DRAM buffer into PMFW. And the reverse, we love a two-way street. π¦
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
DALSMC_MSG_TransferTableSmu2Dram
no cap, that's the whole synopsis up there. short and confident, main character energy fr fr. π
π DESCRIPTION π
okay so both directions use the same argument layout β one layout to rule them all, we love efficiency. π«Ά
but here's the catch, bestie: the DRAM address must be set beforehand π. AddrLow / AddrHigh are the GPU MC address bits [31:0] / [63:32]. like, set them first. before. don't come at it unprepared. π
π¦ the supported tables, per direction
- Smu2Dram supported tables:
TABLE_DAL_INITβ that's DPM clocks + UTM QoS + memory config. a whole little bundle, highkey a lot going on. β¨ - Dram2Smu supported tables:
TABLE_SOC_UTMβ a debug override of UTM QoS parameters. lowkey niche but we respect it. π
π the request fields
TableIdβ table identifier (theTABLE_*defines below).AddrLowβ GPU MC address bits[31:0]of the destination/source buffer.AddrHighβ GPU MC address bits[63:32]of the destination/source buffer.
β the response
- (none beyond result code) β that's literally it. no extra tea, you just get your result code back and you move on. π
