atmel_smc_cs_conf_set_pulse(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 atmel_smc_cs_conf_set_pulse(9)

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and this one is a little function with a big name. it sets the SMC CS conf xx_PULSE parameter to a specific value. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int atmel_smc_cs_conf_set_pulse (struct atmel_smc_cs_conf *conf ,
unsigned int shift , unsigned int ncycles );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • conf — the SMC CS conf descriptor. your main character struct, honestly. 👑
  • shift — the position of the xx_PULSE field in the PULSE register. it's giving "where does this go" energy. 📍
  • ncycles — the value you wanna assign to this xx_PULSE parameter, and it's expressed in MCK clk cycles. clock cycles, no cap. ⏱️

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what actually happens?? this function encodes the ncycles value exactly as described in the datasheet (section "SMC Pulse Register", iykyk) and then stores the result in the conf->setup field at shift position. chef's kiss, done. 💅✨

and the returns?? bestie, listen closely:

  • -EINVAL — shift is invalid. not the vibe. 💀
  • -ERANGE — ncycles doesn't fit in the field. too much for that field to hold, sadly. 😭
  • 0 — otherwise!! everything slayed, all good. 🎉

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

fr fr, go read the datasheet section before you poke at xx_PULSE — the encoding rules live there, and this page is just the messenger. 🫶

okay that's the whole page, bestie!! this one came straight out of <purple>./drivers/mfd</purple>, dated October 2026, and the manpage itself is atmel_smc_cs_conf_set_pulse(9). mwah, go set some pulses 💖🌈⭐
