STRUCT CYCX_FIRMWARE(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ‘‘ struct cycx_firmware(9) β€” the Kernel API Manual glow-up πŸ‘‘

okay bestie, so this is a page about struct cycx_firmware, from the Kernel API Manual. It's the firmware file structure for CYCX, and the whole point is that this struct is the literal blueprint of a .cfm file β€” like the skeleton of the firmware blob, laid out field by field. Main character energy, honestly. 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

struct cycx_firmware β€” the CYCX firmware file structure πŸ’–

Here's the field-by-field breakdown, and yes we're doing all of them, no skipping:

  • signature β€” the CFM file signature (it's the thing that says "hi, I'm a CFM file" 😌)
  • version β€” the file format version
  • checksum β€” the checksum over info + image
  • reserved β€” reserved, so like… don't touch it πŸ™ˆ
  • descr β€” the description string
  • info β€” the firmware module info
  • image β€” the code image, and it's variable size, so it's built different

πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

okay so here's the actual shape of it, copy it exactly bestie, char for char:

struct cycx_firmware {
    char signature[80];
    unsigned short      version;
    unsigned short      checksum;
    unsigned short      reserved[6];
    char descr[CFM_DESCR_LEN];
    struct cycx_fw_info info;
    unsigned char       image[];
 };

signature[80]? iconic. image[] with no size in the brackets? that's a flexible array member and she is variable size, we respect her πŸ’€βœ¨


πŸ’… Members πŸ’…

So this page has a Members section and ngl, it's giving empty. There's nothing listed under it here β€” the actual member rundown lives up in the NAME section above, which we already did in full. No secrets hidden down here, no cap. πŸŽ€


πŸŽ€ SEE ALSO πŸŽ€

  • Kernel file ./include/uapi/linux/cycx_cfm.h β€” go read the actual header bestie, it's right there πŸ¦‹
  • struct cycx_fw_info(9) β€” her sister page, the info field's whole personality πŸ”₯

fr fr, if you're poking at this struct, keep the field order and the exact types β€” the layout is the file format, and the file format is not gonna vibe-check itself. πŸ’€

okay that's the whole page, mwah πŸ’œ β€” this was served fresh from the source ./include/uapi/linux, dated October 2026, and the page itself answers to struct cycx_firmware(9). go slay your firmware parsing bestie, ily, bye! 🌈✨
