scp_get_default_fw_path(9)

✨ scp_get_default_fw_path — get the default SCP firmware path 💖

Hey bestie, welcome to the scp_get_default_fw_path(9) page 🎀 this one lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's short, sweet, and honestly iconic for it. Let's go 🌸

💅 SYNOPSIS

const char * scp_get_default_fw_path (struct device *dev , int core_id );

Like, that's the whole vibe. One call, two args, one const char * coming back at you ✨

🫶 ARGUMENTS

• dev — the SCP Device, bestie. That's the one.
• core_id — the SCP Core number. Which core are we talking about, fr fr.

🌈 DESCRIPTION

Okay so here's the tea ☕ this function generates a path based on the following format:

• mediatek/(soc_model)/scp(_cX).img — for multi-core, and
• mediatek/(soc_model)/scp.img — for single core SCP HW

No cap, that's literally the whole description. (soc_model) gets filled in, and the _cX bit is the multi-core version's whole thing 💫

⭐ RETURN

A devm allocated string containing the full path to a SCP firmware, or an error pointer 😭 so yeah — check that return value, bestie, because an error pointer is not a path no matter how much you want it to be 🙈

Sign-off time, bestie 🎀 this little gem comes from ./drivers/remoteproc, dated October 2026, and it's filed under scp_get_default_fw_path(9). Slay, go get that firmware path 💖✨
