nand_read_byte16(9)

🌸 nand_read_byte16(9) 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes we're literally in the kernel docs rn, stay with me 💖

---

✨ NAME ✨

nand_read_byte16 — [DEFAULT] read one byte, endianness aware, straight off the chip. that's it. that's the whole gig 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

uint8_t nand_read_byte16 (struct nand_chip *chip );

like… it takes the chip, it gives you a byte. uint8_t. one single byte. icon behavior ngl 👑

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• chip — the NAND chip object itself. your main character struct 💅

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so this is the default read function for a 16bit buswidth, and it does endianness conversion while it's at it. one byte, read out, converted so the endianness makes sense. no cap, that's the entire vibe check 🦋

fr fr it's the default one — hence the [DEFAULT] tag up in NAME — so if nobody swapped in a custom read fn, this is what's running ✨
