ENUM SOF_FW_STATE(9)

🌈 NAME 🌈

enum sof_fw_state — DSP firmware state definitions, bestie. This is the Kernel API Manual entry for enum sof_fw_state(9), and it's literally the whole roster of DSP firmware states. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

enum sof_fw_state {
    SOF_FW_BOOT_NOT_STARTED ,
    SOF_DSPLESS_MODE ,
    SOF_FW_BOOT_PREPARE ,
    SOF_FW_BOOT_IN_PROGRESS ,
    SOF_FW_BOOT_FAILED ,
    SOF_FW_BOOT_READY_FAILED ,
    SOF_FW_BOOT_READY_OK ,
    SOF_FW_BOOT_COMPLETE ,
    SOF_FW_CRASHED

};

💅 Constants 💅

okay so these are the constants, and each one is a little chapter in the firmware boot saga. No skipping, bestie 💜

• SOF_FW_BOOT_NOT_STARTED — firmware boot is not yet started. We're at the very beginning, standing there like 👁️👄👁️
• SOF_DSPLESS_MODE — DSP is not used. It's giving "no DSP, no problem" energy.
• SOF_FW_BOOT_PREPARE — preparing for boot, like firmware loading for exaqmple. Getting ready, doing the little pre-game routine 🎀
• SOF_FW_BOOT_IN_PROGRESS — firmware boot is in progress. It's happening, bestie, it's literally happening 🔥
• SOF_FW_BOOT_FAILED — firmware boot failed. 😭 not the boot fail.
• SOF_FW_BOOT_READY_FAILED — firmware booted but fw_ready op failed. So close, but the fw_ready op said nah 💀
• SOF_FW_BOOT_READY_OK — firmware booted and fw_ready op passed. Slay, the fw_ready op came through 👑
• SOF_FW_BOOT_COMPLETE — firmware is booted up and functional. Main character energy, fully operational 🌟
• SOF_FW_CRASHED — firmware crashed after successful boot. The audacity, honestly 🙈
