💅 omap_rproc_start_timer(9)

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual bestie, we're talking about omap_rproc_start_timer today and honestly? she's a little helper function with main character energy 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

omap_rproc_start_timer — start a timer for a remoteproc 🕐✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int omap_rproc_start_timer (struct omap_rproc_timer *timer );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• timer — handle to a OMAP rproc timer. that's it, that's the whole argument, she's low maintenance 💅

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

okay so here's the vibe: this helper function is used to start a timer associated with a remoteproc, and you get that timer using the request_timer ops. 🫶

the way that this works is — the driver needs to invoke this helper function to start the timer (during device initialization) or to just resume the timer. that's literally it. start it up, or pick it back up where it left off. no cap. ⭐

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

• 0 on success 🎉
• otherwise, a failure as returned by DMTimer ops 😭
