hl_fw_dynamic_copy_image(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual! This is hl_fw_dynamic_copy_image(9), and its entire main-character job is literally copy image to memory allocated by the FW. That's the name-card, no cap — iconic behavior only. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

the return type is int, and the exact signature is right here, character-for-character:

int hl_fw_dynamic_copy_image (struct hl_device *hdev , const struct
firmware *fw , struct fw_load_mgr *fw_loader );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hdev — pointer to the habanalabs device structure. it's the device pointer, bestie, keep it close. 💜
• fw — fw descriptor. literally the firmware descriptor, that's the vibe.
• fw_loader — managing structure for loading device's FW. the loader's manager era, periodt. 🦋
