STRUCT INGENIC_ECC_PARAMS(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ struct ingenic_ecc_params(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual πŸŽ€ this one's a lil struct from the Ingenic ECC world, and honestly it's giving "small but crucial" energy. no cap, it's just three ints, but those three ints are literally doing the ECC math for your NAND. let's get into it πŸ’…


🌸 NAME 🌸

struct ingenic_ecc_params β€” ECC parameters 🧚

like, the params. for ECC. the whole vibe of this struct is just "here's what you need to know about one ECC step." iconic behavior fr fr.


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

struct ingenic_ecc_params {
    int size;
    int bytes;
    int strength;
};

three ints, chillin' in a struct. that's it. that's the whole thing. and yet β€” main character energy, honestly πŸ‘‘


πŸ’– Members πŸ’–

  • size β€” data bytes per ECC step. like, how many bytes of actual data are we protecting in one step. the payload, the content, the moment ✨
  • bytes β€” ECC bytes per step. so this is how many bytes of ECC goodness get attached per step. the safety net, the support system 🫢
  • strength β€” number of correctable bits per ECC step. literally the "how much can we fix" number. how many bit flips this step can take and still slay πŸ’ͺ

  • Kernel file ./drivers/mtd/nand/raw/ingenic/ingenic_ecc.h β€” go read the header bestie, that's where the whole story lives πŸ“

ngl, if you're poking at this struct you're probably deep in the Ingenic NAND driver. respect. that's highkey a niche and cool place to be πŸ¦‹

kisses and struct definitions πŸ’œ β€” this little page came from the ./drivers/mtd/nand/raw/ingenic directory, October 2026 edition, and it's the struct ingenic_ecc_params(9) manual page saying bye bestie, go fix some bit flips 🌈⭐
