orc_load_firmware(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual corner 💖 — this page is all about orc_load_firmware(9), which literally initialise firmware. That's the whole plot: orc_load_firmware = initialise firmware. periodt 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the signature, copied exactly because we do not play with code:

u8 orc_load_firmware (struct orc_host * host );

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• host — the Host to set up. that's it, that's the argument, bestie 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what's the actual tea? orc_load_firmware loads the firmware from the EEPROM into controller SRAM. it's basically a 4K block copy and then a 4K block read to check correctness. ngl, the rest is convulted by the indirect interfaces in the hardware 😭 — yes, that spelling is straight from the original, and we keep the facts fr fr 💅
