qed_mcp_get_nvm_image(9)

💅 qed_mcp_get_nvm_image(9) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this is the page for qed_mcp_get_nvm_image, and it's genuinely the "gimme the whole firmware vibe" one. Let's go 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

qed_mcp_get_nvm_image — allows reading a whole nvram image.

Like, the entire image. Not a slice, not a peek — the whole thing. slay.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int qed_mcp_get_nvm_image (struct qed_hwfn *p_hwfn , enum qed_nvm_images
image_id , u8 *p_buffer , u32 buffer_len );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• p_hwfn — HW device data. this is the hardware's whole personality, basically.
• image_id — the image requested for reading. which nvram image are we grabbing bestie 👀
• p_buffer — allocated buffer into which to fill data. you bring the bucket, it brings the water 💧
• buffer_len — length of the allocated buffer. no cap, the length actually matters here.

---

🌈 RETURN 🌈

• 0 if p_buffer now contains the nvram image. that's the good ending 💖

💀 friendly reminder: p_buffer has to be an allocated buffer and buffer_len is its length — you don't get to just vibe-check your way past that, iykyk.
