ice_aq_update_nvm(9)

💅 ice_aq_update_nvm 💅

hey bestie, this is the Kernel API Manual page for ice_aq_update_nvm(9) — section 9, and it's giving “admin queue commands updating the NVM” energy. no cap, we're keeping every argument and every reference. 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so the name is ice_aq_update_nvm - and the original page leaves that little dash with no description after it. that's the whole NAME section, bestie — minimalist icon behavior, periodt. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the signature, exactly as the original has it — spaces, line breaks, and all:

int ice_aq_update_nvm (struct ice_hw *hw , u16 module_typeid , u32
       offset , u16 length , void *data , bool last_command , u8 command_flags
       , struct ice_sq_cd *cd );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hw — pointer to the HW struct.
• module_typeid — where the module pointer lives, counted in words from the beginning of the NVM.
• offset — byte offset from the beginning of the module.
• length — how many bytes of the section get written, starting from offset.
• data — the command buffer; its size in bytes is exactly length (size [bytes] = length).
• last_command — tells you if this is the last command in a series.
• command_flags — the command parameters.
• cd — pointer to the command details structure, or NULL.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

this function updates the NVM using the admin queue commands — opcode 0x0703, fr fr. that's the main character move: admin queue commands, NVM update, iconic. 🔥
