📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 nand_reset_interface(9) — the Kernel API Manual, but make it cute 🎀

okay so this is from the Kernel API Manual (section 9, kernel developer land, iykyk) and honestly the name kinda spoils it but let's go anyway bestie ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

nand_reset_interface — resets the data interface and the timings, like a full little glow-up for your NAND chip's communication setup 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int nand_reset_interface (struct nand_chip *chip , int chipnr );

literally the whole signature, no cap 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • chip — the NAND chip itself, the main character of this whole situation 👑
  • chipnr — the internal die id, so like which die inside the chip we're talking to 🔥

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what it does: it resets the Data interface and the timings back to ONFI mode 0. that's the default, the factory-reset vibe, the "no thoughts head empty" mode 😌✨

and what does it give you back? 0 for success, or a negative error code otherwise. that's it. that's the whole return value situation fr fr 💀

bestie reminder: 0 = slay, negative = not slay 🙈
