okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this is the page for stm32_dfsdm_start_dfsdm and honestly it's giving "small but mighty" β€” it does exactly one thing and it does it slayfully. let's get into it 🫢


🌸 NAME 🌸

stm32_dfsdm_start_dfsdm β€” start the global dfsdm interface πŸ’… lowkey iconic of it.


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int stm32_dfsdm_start_dfsdm (struct stm32_dfsdm *dfsdm );

like, that's the whole signature, no cap β€” it takes one pointer and hands you back an int πŸŽ€


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • dfsdm β€” the handle bestie. you use it to retrieve the dfsdm context, that's literally its whole job πŸ’œ

πŸ”₯ DESCRIPTION πŸ”₯

so the way this works is: it enables the interface β€” but only if n_active_ch is not null ✨ like, that's the vibe check. n_active_ch null? no enabling for you, periodt. not null? go off, interface, you're enabled πŸ’…πŸ‘‘

fr fr, that's the whole condition β€” n_active_ch is the main character here 🌈

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

  • the kernel file ./drivers/iio/adc/stm32-dfsdm-core.c πŸ“ (that's where the magic lives, iykyk)
  • struct stm32_dfsdm_dev_data(9) 🧚
  • stm32_dfsdm_stop_dfsdm(9) β€” the opposite energy, the "ok we're done here" sibling πŸ’€

and that's the page!! πŸŽ€ this lil gem comes from ./drivers/iio/adc, dated October 2026, so go forth and start that dfsdm interface responsibly bestie πŸŒΈπŸ’–πŸ¦‹
