STRUCT INV_ICM42600_FIFO(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’– struct inv_icm42600_fifo(9) πŸ’–

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9 β€” this is the page for struct inv_icm42600_fifo, and it's literally the whole vibe-holding container for the FIFO state variables of the inv_icm42600 driver. yes it's as niche as it sounds and yes we're gonna slay it anyway πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

struct inv_icm42600_fifo β€” FIFO state variables. that's it, that's the whole name, iconic brevity πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the struct in all its glory, copy it exactly, don't touch a single character:

struct inv_icm42600_fifo {
    unsigned int on;
    unsigned int en;
    u32 period;
    struct {
      unsigned int gyro;
      unsigned int accel;
      unsigned int eff_gyro;
      unsigned int eff_accel;
      unsigned int value;
    } watermark;
    size_t count;
    struct {
      size_t gyro;
      size_t accel;
      size_t total;
    } nb;
    u8 data[2080];
 };

look at those nested structs. she's structured. she's organized. she ate πŸ”₯


πŸ¦‹ Members πŸ¦‹

  • on β€” the reference counter for FIFO on. like, how many things are currently keeping the FIFO alive. main character energy for a counter honestly ✨
  • en β€” the bits field of INV_ICM42600_SENSOR_* for the FIFO EN bits. yep, those bits, that field, this member. no cap 🫢
  • period β€” the FIFO internal period. it's a u32, it's a period, it's internal. we love a lowkey simple field πŸ’œ
  • watermark β€” the watermark configuration values for accel and gyro. this is the nested struct with gyro, accel, eff_gyro, eff_accel, and value inside β€” all five, bestie, we're not skipping any πŸ’–
  • count β€” the number of bytes in the FIFO data buffer. it's a size_t, it counts bytes, that's the whole job πŸŽ€
  • nb β€” the gyro, accel and total samples in the FIFO data buffer. another nested struct: gyro, accel, and total. three fields, all present, all accounted for 🌸
  • data β€” the FIFO data buffer, aligned for DMA. it's u8 data[2080], which is 2kB + 32 bytes of read cache. yes, 2080, exactly, don't round it bestie 😭

πŸ’€ SEE ALSO πŸ’€

  • Kernel file: ./drivers/iio/imu/inv_icm42600/inv_icm42600_buffer.h β€” go read it, it's giving "required reading" πŸ™ˆ

ngl this whole page is one struct and seven members, but that's the assignment and we did it. periodt. πŸ’…

and that's a wrap bestie!! 🧚 this little masterpiece comes from ./drivers/iio/imu/inv_icm42600 (that's the source, right there) and it's dated October 2026 β€” so it's from the future, which honestly explains the aesthetic ⭐ mwah, see you in the next manpage πŸŒˆπŸ‘‘
