buffer_icap_get_bram(9)
π buffer_icap_get_bram(9) β the kernel API manual, but make it cute π
Okay so bestie, welcome to the buffer_icap_get_bram glow-up β¨ This is a function from the Kernel API Manual and it's literally about reading data from the storage buffer bram. No cap, it's giving "small but mighty" energy π
πΈ NAME πΈ
buffer_icap_get_bram β reads data from the storage buffer bram, periodt π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
u32 buffer_icap_get_bram (void __iomem *base_address , u32 offset );
π«Ά ARGUMENTS π«Ά
base_addressβ contains the base address of the component. It's the "where am I even looking" coordinate, iykyk πoffsetβ the word offset from which the data should be read. Think of it as "how far into the vibe are we fetching from" π¦
π DESCRIPTION π
So a bram is used as a configuration memory cache, and honestly? Iconic behavior π One frame of data can be stored in this "storage buffer" β that's the whole assignment, that's the gig, and it ate π₯
