iio_backend_ddr_enable(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 iio_backend_ddr_enable — a.k.a. the "make it go double-speed" button

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, section 9 (that's the kernel-internals girlies ✨). Bestie, we're talking about the iio_backend_ddr_enable(9) function, and honestly? It's giving "small function, big vibes."

🌸 NAME 🌸

iio_backend_ddr_enable — turn on DDR (Double Data Rate) mode for the interface. no cap, that's the whole personality 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int iio_backend_ddr_enable (struct iio_backend *back);

like, that's it. one arg. we love a low-maintenance icon 🎀

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • back — the backend device. your main character struct, fr fr. that's the thing you're enabling DDR on 💅

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so here's the tea ☕ — this function enables DDR, and the way that works is: the data is generated by the IP at each front (raising and falling) of the bus clock signal. so instead of one edge doing the work, both edges are pulling their weight. teamwork, slay, periodt 💀✨

basically double the edges, double the data. the way that clock signal is booked and busy 🕰️👑

🫶 RETURN 🫶

  • 0 on success — iconic, we ate 💖
  • a negative error number on failure — not iconic, but like, it happens 😭
