💅 stm32f7_spi_...ne_dma_start(9)

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — this is the page for stm32f7_spi_transfer_one_dma_start, and yes, the title literally gets truncated with ... in it. that's not a typo, that's just how this manpage rolls 😭 iconic behavior honestly.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

stm32f7_spi_transfer_one_dma_start — set the SPI driver registers so a transfer can kick off using DMA 🫶

like, this is the little function that gets the SPI party started, and it does it the DMA way, no CPU babysitting the bytes one at a time ✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void stm32f7_spi_transfer_one_dma_start (struct stm32_spi *spi );

it returns void, so nothing comes back. it just does the thing. main character energy, no receipts 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• spi — pointer to the spi controller data structure 💖 like, the actual SPI controller's data, the whole vibe bundle. you hand it over and the function goes to work.

lowkey note: the synopsis is short, the argument list is one item long, and that's genuinely the whole function. some manpages are whole novels, this one is a haiku. respect it 🧚

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 🍓 this beauty lives in ./drivers/spi and got stamped with October 2026 — so mark your calendars, plant a little flag, and go start that DMA transfer. slay 💜👑
