fpga_region_program_fpga(9)

💖 NAME — fpga_region_program_fpga(9) from the Kernel API Manual 💖

okay bestie, official vibe check: fpga_region_program_fpga is here to program FPGA ✨💅.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int fpga_region_program_fpga (struct fpga_region *region );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• region — the FPGA region, bestie 🫶. That's the region getting the programming treatment.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea ☕: this function programs an FPGA using fpga image info from region->info 🫶✨.

If the region has a get_bridges function, the exclusive reference for the bridges will be held if programming succeeds 🔥👑. This is intended to prevent reprogramming the region until the caller considers it safe to do so — lowkey important, no cap 😭. The caller will need to call fpga_bridges_put before attempting to reprogram the region, periodt 💅.

⭐ RETURN ⭐

• 0 for success — slay 🎉
• negative error code — not the vibe 😭
