π si476x_core_get_revision_info(9) β Kernel API Manual
okay so bestie, welcome to the glow-up of si476x_core_get_revision_info β yes, the header up top prints it all squished as si476x_core...evision_info(9), that's just the man page formatter doing its little truncated thing, don't panic π«Ά. We're hanging out in the Kernel API Manual, which is exactly as glamorous as it sounds.
β¨ NAME β¨
si476x_core_get_revision_info β and honestly, the original page just left a lil dangling dash there, so we're keeping the vibe: this is the function that goes and finds out what firmware version your device is running. Periodt.
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
int si476x_core_get_revision_info (struct si476x_core *core );
That's it. One function, one pointer, zero drama. π
π ARGUMENTS π
coreβ the Core device structure. that's the whole thing, that's the whole arg. she's the main character here π
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
So what does it do? It gets the firmware version number of the device, bestie. That's the mission. No cap.
And the way it does it is a whole three-step routine β like a little ritual, honestly:
- Power-up the device β‘ like, wake her up, she needs to be awake for this
- Send the
'FUNC_INFO'command π¨ the actual asking-the-question part - Powering the device down. π€ and then we tuck her back in, respectfully
and here's the part you actually need to remember: the function returns zero on success and a negative error code on failure. Zero good, negative bad, that's the whole mood. π
π₯ SEE ALSO π₯
