mtk_adsp_dump(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🌸 mtk_adsp_dump(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual page, bestie 🌸

okay so welcome to the mtk_adsp_dump page from the Kernel API Manual section, section 9, and honestly? she's a short one but she's iconic. let's get into it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

mtk_adsp_dump — this function is called when a panic message is received from the firmware. no cap, that's literally her whole job. firmware panics, she gets the call 📞😭

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void mtk_adsp_dump (struct snd_sof_dev *sdev , u32 flags );

look at her. returns void, so she's not giving you anything back — she just does the thing and leaves. main character energy fr fr 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • sdev — the SOF device. that's the whole vibe, she needs her device bestie to do anything 🫶
  • flags — parameter not used but required by ops prototype 🙈 like... she's literally just there to fill the seat. the ops prototype said "you need a flags arg" and the kernel said "okay bet" and now flags is a cast member with zero lines. we still love her. she's doing her best. 💀
ngl, don't go passing anything meaningful in flags expecting it to matter — the page is very clear that it's not used, it's just there because the prototype demands it. periodt.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay and for the cute sign-off: this little baby lives over at ./sound/soc/sof/mediatek, she's dated October 2026, and she answers to the name mtk_adsp_dump(9). go forth and dump those ADSP panic messages, bestie — slay 💖🎀🔥
