✨ nand_prog_page_op(9) ✨

okay so this is from the Kernel API Manual, and bestie, we're about to learn how to shove a whole page of data into a NAND chip. it's giving "one function, zero drama." 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

nand_prog_page_op — do a full PROG PAGE operation. yes, the whole thing. one call. iconic. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int nand_prog_page_op (struct nand_chip *chip , unsigned int page ,
       unsigned int offset_in_page , const void *buf , unsigned int len );

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • chip — the NAND chip. the main character. your whole world for the duration of this call. 👑
  • page — the page you're writing to. pick one. wisely. 🍓
  • offset_in_page — the offset within that page, because sometimes you don't start at zero and that's fine, we don't judge. ✨
  • buf — the buffer holding the data you're writing into the page. that's your payload, bestie. 🫶
  • len — length of the buffer. how much of buf is actually going in. don't lie about it. 😭

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so nand_prog_page_op issues a full PROG PAGE operation. the entire thing. not a begin, not an end, the whole full send. 🌈

🚨 heads up, this is the important part: this function does not select/unselect the CS line. so don't come for it about chip select — that's literally not its job. handle your own CS, bestie. no cap. 💀

and the returns? it returns 0 on success, or a negative error code otherwise. lowkey the cleanest contract ever. 🧚

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

Kernel file ./drivers/mtd/nand/raw/nand_base.c — go read it, it's the whole vibe. 💜

that's the whole page, bestie. go write some pages. 🦋💖

this lil drop came straight out of ./drivers/mtd/nand/raw, timestamped October 2026 — periodt, you're welcome ✨👑
