β¨ process_ldr_command_stream(9) β¨
okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9 β this is the process_ldr_command_stream page and honestly? it's giving "firmware whisperer" π
πΈ NAME πΈ
process_ldr_command_stream β processes the LDR firmware image and populates the firmware sections. that's it, that's the whole vibe β¨
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
int process_ldr_command_stream (struct pvr_device *pvr_dev , const u8
*fw , u8 *fw_code_ptr , u8 *fw_data_ptr , u8 *fw_core_code_ptr , u8
*fw_core_data_ptr , u32 **boot_conf_ptr );
literally the whole signature, no cap π«Ά
π ARGUMENTS π
bestie, there are six of these and you need to know every single one, so let's go π₯
pvr_devβ device pointer. the main character of this whole function, fr fr πfwβ pointer to the firmware image. this is the source material πfw_code_ptrβ pointer to the FW code section β¨fw_data_ptrβ pointer to the FW data section πfw_core_code_ptrβ pointer to the FW coremem code section πfw_core_data_ptrβ pointer to the FW coremem data section πboot_conf_ptrβ pointer to the boot config argument pointer. yes it's a pointer to a pointer, don't @ me, that's just how it is π
π RETURN π
0on success π slay-EINVALon any error in the LDR command stream π it's giving "something went wrong in the command stream" and that's the whole story
π SEE ALSO π
- Kernel file
./drivers/gpu/drm/imagination/pvr_fw_meta.cβ go read it, iykyk π pvr_meta_cr_read32(9)β the other iconic one, linked up like the bestie it is π«Ά
ngl if you get -EINVAL back, that means the LDR command stream had an error somewhere. not a vibe, but at least now you know π
mwah π that's the whole page, written from ./drivers/gpu/drm/imagination, dated October 2026, and manual-section-coded to the very end. periodt. πππ¦
