β¨ ezport_flash(9) β¨
okay so this is from the Kernel API Manual and honestly? it's giving "tiny function, big responsibility" π«Ά we're flashing firmware onto a device through an NXP EzPort interface, and yeah, it's exactly as cool as it sounds. bestie, let's get into it π
π NAME π
ezport_flash β flash device firmware β¨
Literally what it says on the tin: it flashes firmware. Onto a device. Through EzPort. slay.
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
int ezport_flash (struct spi_device *spi , struct gpio_desc *reset ,
const char *fwname );
Three args, one int back. no cap, that's the whole vibe check π₯
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
spiβ the SPI device for the NXP EzPort interface. this is your main character, the whole reason we're here πresetβ the gpio connected to the device reset pin. gotta be able to poke the reset, iykyk πfwnameβ filename of the firmware that should be flashed. yes babe, the actual firmware, the whole point π
π CONTEXT π
can sleep π΄
(that's it. that's the context. it can sleep, so plan accordingly, don't be calling it from somewhere spicy πΆοΈ)
β RETURN β
0 on success; negative errno on failure π
so like β zero means we ate, negative errno means something went sideways and you should go read the errno, fr fr π
π SEE ALSO π
Kernel file ./drivers/misc/gehc-achc.c β go read the source, bestie, it's all there π§
ngl this whole page is short and sweet and I'm obsessed β but do NOT forget the return check, it's literally the difference between πΊ and π
