ci_hdrc_gadget_init(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’– ci_hdrc_gadget_init β€” kernel API manual, but make it make sense πŸ’–

okay so bestie, we're in the kernel API manual today and this page is literally called ci_hdrc_gadget_init(9) β€” say that five times fast, i dare you 🫢. it's a little function that gets the gadget side of a chipidea USB controller ready to go. tiny page, big "setting up the whole vibe" energy ✨


✨ NAME ✨

ci_hdrc_gadget_init β€” initialize device related bits. that's it, that's the whole job: get the device-y parts of the controller set up 🌸


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

int ci_hdrc_gadget_init(struct ci_hdrc *ci);

it hands you back an int, so, y'know, check it πŸ‘€


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • ci β€” the controller. the actual struct ci_hdrc * we're working on, the main character of this whole operation πŸ‘‘

πŸ’… DESCRIPTION πŸ’…

okay so here's the tea: this function initializes the gadget β€” but only if the device is "device capable". that's the whole condition, no cap. if it's not device capable, then like… nothing to init, bestie πŸ’€


🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

you want the whole friend group? here's the whole friend group, all in ./drivers/usb/chipidea/udc.c β€” genuinely iconic file, go read it:

like, that's thirty-three whole functions, no skips, we're not doing that thing where we summarise and leave half of them out πŸ™ˆ


so yeah β€” that's the page. ./drivers/usb/chipidea, October 2026, and the manual name is ci_hdrc_gadget_init(9) if you need to look it up again. later bestie, go init some device bits πŸ’œπŸ¦‹
