ENUM IPROC_PCIE_TYPE(9)

🌸 enum iproc_pcie_type(9) 🌸

okay bestie so this is from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally the whole personality test for iProc PCIe interfaces 💅 like, which type of wrapper are you? take the quiz, find out, slay.

✨ NAME ✨

enum iproc_pcie_type — the iProc PCIe interface type, aka the "which flavor of PCIe wrapper are we dealing with" enum 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

enum iproc_pcie_type {
    IPROC_PCIE_PAXB_BCMA ,
    IPROC_PCIE_PAXB ,
    IPROC_PCIE_PAXB_V2 ,
    IPROC_PCIE_PAXC ,
    IPROC_PCIE_PAXC_V2

};

like that's the whole roster, no cap 👑

---

🎀 CONSTANTS 🎀

• IPROC_PCIE_PAXB_BCMA — the BCMA-based host controllers, bcma girlies rise 🫶
• IPROC_PCIE_PAXB — the PAXB-based host controllers for the NS, NSP, Cygnus, NS2, and Pegasus SOCs. that's a whole friend group right there 😭
• IPROC_PCIE_PAXB_V2 — PAXB-based host controllers for Stingray SoCs 🐟✨ the sequel, the glow-up
• IPROC_PCIE_PAXC — PAXC-based host controllers, the original recipe 💅
• IPROC_PCIE_PAXC_V2 — PAXC-based host controllers, second generation. she came back better 🔥

---

💜 Description 💜

so like, quick lore drop:

PAXB is the wrapper used in root complex that can be connected to an external endpoint device. external linkup energy, very main character 🌈

PAXC is the wrapper used in root complex dedicated for internal emulated endpoint devices. it's giving private, exclusive, invite-only 🧚

different wrappers, different vibes, both iconic. periodt 💀

go read those if you're obsessed and want the full story iykyk 📚✨

lowkey a reminder bestie: this is a kernel source-level thing, so the details are exact and the vibes are immaculate, but don't go inventing behavior that isn't here 🙈

and that's the tea 🍓 signed off from ./drivers/pci/controller, October 2026, enum iproc_pcie_type(9) — catch you in the next manpage, muah 💖🎀🦋
