📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 doc_set_asic_mode(9) — like, the ASIC mode setter, bestie

okay so real talk, this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual and it's called doc_set_asic_mode(9). yes it's a mouthful. no we're not scared of it. let's go 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

doc_set_asic_mode — literally just... set the ASIC mode. that's the whole vibe. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void doc_set_asic_mode (struct docg3 *docg3 , u8 mode );

it returns void btw, so like, don't go looking for a return value. there isn't one. she's giving nothing and that's fine 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • docg3 — the device. the actual thing. your main character 🎀
  • mode — the mode. the u8. the whole point of the function ngl ✨

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so the ASIC can work in 3 modes, and honestly? each one is a different era:

  • RESET — all registers are zeroed. everything. gone. a clean slate, a fresh start, a soft launch if you will 💀
  • NORMAL — receives and handles commands. she's working, she's booked, she's thriving 🔥
  • POWERDOWN — minimal poweruse, flash parts shut off. she's in her rest era, napping, do not disturb 🦋
no cap, those are the only three modes listed here — don't go inventing a fourth, bestie 🙈

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

this is the friend group, the whole squad, the entire ./drivers/mtd/devices docg3.c kernel file cast — and yes, we're listing every single one because nobody gets left behind 🫶

and for the record, they all live in the kernel file ./drivers/mtd/devices/docg3.c — that's the address, that's the hangout spot 🏠✨

💖 sign-off 💖
