okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β¨ β yes this page is literally called gfx_v7_0_cp_...ad_microcode(9), and no, that's not a typo, the kernel just abbreviates things like it's texting too fast π«Ά

gfx_v7_0_cp_gfx_load_microcode β the one that loads the gfx CP ME ucode π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
int gfx_v7_0_cp_gfx_load_microcode (struct amdgpu_device *adev );
like, that's the whole vibe check right there π
πΈ ARGUMENTS πΈ
adevβ anamdgpu_devicepointer. that's it, that's the arg, she's the main character π¦
π DESCRIPTION π
so what does she do? she loads the gfx PFP, ME, and CE ucode. all three. no cap π₯
and then:
- returns
