ENUM MTU3_DR_FORCE_MODE(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ‘‘ enum mtu3_dr_force_mode(9) β€” a Kernel API Manual moment

okay bestie, listen up πŸ’… this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's all about one lil enum that tells you which way the USB port is leaning. it's giving "choose your fighter" energy and honestly? iconic.


✨ NAME ✨

enum mtu3_dr_force_mode β€” literally just tells you the host/OTG operating mode πŸ¦‹


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

enum mtu3_dr_force_mode {
    MTU3_DR_FORCE_NONE ,
    MTU3_DR_FORCE_HOST ,
    MTU3_DR_FORCE_DEVICE

};

that's the whole squad right there. three members, no drama. 🫢


🌸 Constants 🌸

  • MTU3_DR_FORCE_NONE β€” the chill one 😌 automatically switches between host and peripheral mode by the IDPIN signal. no forcing, no meddling, it just vibes and lets the hardware decide.
  • MTU3_DR_FORCE_HOST β€” the main character πŸ”₯ forces the port into host mode and overrides the OTG IDPIN signal. yeah, you heard me β€” it does NOT care what IDPIN thinks. it said "I'm the host now" and meant it.
  • MTU3_DR_FORCE_DEVICE β€” the plot twist πŸ’€ forces the port into peripheral mode. that's it, that's the whole personality.
ngl these three are basically the entire personality test for your USB port. pick one and commit πŸ’–
