allegro_decode_mail(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this is allegro_decode_mail(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and she is literally here to parse allegro messages from the firmware 💖 no cap.

• allegro_decode_mail — Parse allegro messages from the firmware.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int allegro_decode_mail (void *msg , u32 *src );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• msg — The mcu_msg_response that will be filled with parsed values. She gets filled with the decoded stuff, periodt 💅.
• src — Pointer to the memory that will be parsed. The raw material getting the whole treatment, iykyk 🦋.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The message format in the mailbox depends on the firmware — different firmware, different format, it’s giving chaos honestly 😭.

So this function parses the different formats into a uniform message format that can be used without taking care of the firmware version. One consistent message format, no firmware-version anxiety, we love to see it ✨.
