hantro_g2_reset(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… hantro_g2_reset πŸ’…

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, section 9 β€” yes bestie, the kernel one, we're in the big leagues now 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

hantro_g2_reset β€” and honestly? the original page gives us nothing after that dash. iconic empty description energy, no cap. πŸ’€


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void hantro_g2_reset(struct hantro_ctx *ctx);

πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • ctx β€” the hantro context. that's it, that's the whole argument. she's a one-parameter girlie πŸ’…

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so the way this works is: it emulates a reset using the Hantro abort function. like, it's doing reset cosplay, not a real reset 😭

and this is the part where you listen, bestie, because it's lowkey scary:

Failing this procedure results in programming a running IP, which leads to a CPU hang. like, dead. frozen. the whole machine just ✨ stops ✨.

so yeah β€” the manpage is very clear that using a hard reset procedure instead is preferred. hard reset is the main character here, this one is the understudy. periodt. πŸ‘‘

that's the whole page, bestie! πŸ“ this cutie comes to you from ./drivers/media/platform/veris... and it's dated October 2026 β€” yes, from the future, we don't ask questions πŸ’œ stay safe, do your hard resets, and don't be out here programming a running IP πŸ™ˆ πŸŽ€
