ENUM HL_FW_TYPES(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… enum hl_fw_types(9) β€” Kernel API Manual energy, but make it make sense

okay bestie, so this one is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally just a little enum that tells you which firmware types can be chillin' in your system. No cap, that's the whole vibe. It lives next to ./drivers/accel/habanalabs/common/habanalabs.h, and if you're the kind of girlie who reads kernel headers for fun (me, I'm her), this is your moment ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

enum hl_fw_types β€” literally the F/W types that are present in the system 🫢


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

enum hl_fw_types {
    FW_TYPE_NONE ,
    FW_TYPE_LINUX ,
    FW_TYPE_BOOT_CPU ,
    FW_TYPE_PREBOOT_CPU ,
    FW_TYPE_ALL_TYPES

};

that's it. that's the enum. she's small but she's doing her job πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ Constants πŸŽ€

okay so here's the whole cast, one by one, no skipping, we don't do that here:

  • FW_TYPE_NONE β€” the "no FW component indication" girlie. she's giving nothing and honestly that's her whole point πŸ™ˆ
  • FW_TYPE_LINUX β€” the Linux image for the device CPU. yes, actual Linux, running over there, doing Linux things 🐧
  • FW_TYPE_BOOT_CPU β€” the Boot image for the device CPU. it boots. that's the assignment and she ate πŸ”₯
  • FW_TYPE_PREBOOT_CPU β€” this one means pre-loaded CPUs are present in the system (preboot, ppboot etc...). okay so the "etc..." is doing a lot of heavy lifting there, but we respect it πŸ’œ
  • FW_TYPE_ALL_TYPES β€” the Mask for all types. she contains multitudes. main character energy fr fr πŸ‘‘

bestie. sit down. hydrate. this list is long and we are not skipping a single one, because every single one of these deserves her moment in the group chat. here we go, in the exact order the manpage gave them, all under Kernel file ./drivers/accel/habanalabs/common/habanalabs.h:

like I said. long. but we got through it together and that's what matters πŸ’– and yeah, the whole list is still under ./drivers/accel/habanalabs/common β€” the directory, not the header, the header is the habanalabs.h bit above. iykyk 🧚

no cap, that's genuinely every reference β€” if you need the actual behaviour of any of these, go read their pages, because this one is only about the firmware types. periodt πŸ’…

okay that's the whole vibe check, bestie β€” this page is from the ./drivers/accel/habanalabs/common source tree, dated October 2026, and honestly? iconic. go forth and know your FW types πŸ‘‘πŸ¦‹πŸ’œ
