💖 ice_flash_component(9) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for ice_flash_component — yes, this is that girl, the one who literally flashes a whole component of the NVM and makes it look effortless ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_flash_component — flash a component of the NVM, no cap 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int ice_flash_component (struct pldmfw *context , struct
pldmfw_component *component );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• context — the PLDM fw update structure, she's the main character holding everything together 🫶
• component — the component table to program, like the actual to-do list we're about to slay 🔥

---

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

okay so picture this: you're programming the flash contents for a given component. Three steps, in this exact order, and the order is giving choreography:

1. First, determine the module id 👑
2. Then, erase the secondary bank for this module 💀
3. Finally, write the contents of the component to the NVM ✨

⚠️ heads up bestie: this function assumes the caller has acquired the NVM resource. Like, it's not doing the lock for you. You gotta come correct with that already in hand, fr fr. 🙈

---

🌈 RETURN 🌈

zero on success, or a negative error code on failure. That's it, that's the vibe check 😌
