ENUM IWL_FW_DBG_MONITOR_MODE(9)

💖 enum iwl_fw_dbg_monitor_mode(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — we're looking at enum iwl_fw_dbg_monitor_mode(9) today and honestly? it's giving "small enum, big responsibilities" energy. no cap, it's literally just a list of the modes your monitor recording can be in. four of them. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

enum iwl_fw_dbg_monitor_mode — the available monitor recording modes 👑 like, the menu of ways the monitor can record stuff.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole shape of it, copy-paste energy, no notes:

enum iwl_fw_dbg_monitor_mode {
    SMEM_MODE ,
    EXTERNAL_MODE ,
    MARBH_MODE ,
    MIPI_MODE

};

four constants, all caps, all iconic. periodt. 💅

---

🦋 Constants 🦋

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

• SMEM_MODE — monitor stores the data in SMEM. short, sweet, lives in shared memory. 🫶
• EXTERNAL_MODE — monitor stores the data in allocated DRAM. it's external, it's DRAM, it's doing the most. 🔥
• MARBH_MODE — monitor stores the data in the MARBH buffer. that's the buffer's name, don't ask me, I just work here 😭
• MIPI_MODE — monitor outputs the data through the MIPI interface. it's not storing, it's streaming, main character energy fr fr ⭐

ngl bestie, these are constants — pick the one that matches where you want the data to go and vibe check accordingly. 🙈
