rproc_elf_get_boot_addr(9)

💅 rproc_elf_get_boot_addr — like, the Kernel API Manual page you actually wanna read ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to rproc_elf_get_boot_addr(9) from the Kernel API Manual — yes that manual, the one with all the ✨remoteproc✨ lore. this one's short and sweet, no cap 🍓

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

rproc_elf_get_boot_addr — Get rproc's boot address. literally that's the whole job 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

u64 rproc_elf_get_boot_addr (struct rproc *rproc , const struct firmware
       *fw );

like yes, she returns a u64, she's iconic like that 👑

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• rproc — the remote processor handle 🫶 the main character of this whole situation
• fw — the ELF firmware image 🌈 the actual blob of firmware vibes

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so important tea ☕: the boot address is not a configurable property of all remote processors. nope. some of them will always boot at a specific hard-coded address, periodt. so don't go assuming you can just set it wherever you want, because the vibe check will fail 😭

---

💖 RETURN 💖

the entry point address of the ELF image 🔥 that's the whole return value, slay
