πŸ’… omap3xxx_prm_iva_idle β€” kernel API manual, but make it make sense ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the omap3xxx_prm_iva_idle(9) page 🌸 this is the Kernel API Manual entry, and honestly? she's short but she matters. let's get into it 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

omap3xxx_prm_iva_idle β€” literally just making sure IVA is in idle so it can be put into retention πŸ’€ no cap, that's the whole gig.


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

void omap3xxx_prm_iva_idle (void );

🌈 ARGUMENTS 🌈

  • void β€” no arguments. zero. none. she takes nothing, she gives everything πŸ‘‘

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

okay so here's the tea β˜• sometimes IVA2 gets activated by bootcode, and when that happens it can be not idle, which lowkey blocks full-chip retention or off-mode 😭 like bestie is just sitting there awake and the whole chip can't power down because of it.

this function forces IVA2 into idle state β€” the way that it just ✨ makes it happen ✨ β€” so IVA2 can go into retention/off, and therefore the full chip can hit retention/off too πŸ’œ periodt.

ngl the vibe is: wake up, put IVA2 to bed, let the whole chip sleep 😴
