STRUCT PDS_CORE_FLASH_COMPONENT(9)

💖 struct pds_core_flash_component(9) 💖

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and the vibe is very much "let me introduce you to this one struct." It's struct pds_core_flash_component and it's literally just the receipts for a flash component — all the little details. periodt. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

struct pds_core_flash_component — Component details 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct pds_core_flash_component {
    __le32 comparison_stamp;
    __le32 image_size;
    __le16 classification;
    __le16 identifier;
    __le16 options;
    u8 rsvd[3];
    u8 version_str_type;
    u8 version_str_len;
    u8 version_str[];
};

look at that layout, she's gorgeous, she's aligned, she's giving struct main character energy 🦋

• comparison_stamp — the comparison stamp, and it's used for component version checks. like a little vibe check but for versions, iykyk 💫
• image_size — the component image size. how big the image is, no cap.
• classification — vendor specific classification info 👑 (vendor's call, vendor's rules)
• identifier — the component's ID. her name tag basically 🎀
• options — component options. the little extras ✨
• rsvd — word boundary padding. yes she's just filler but she's doing it for alignment and we respect her 🫡
• version_str_type — the types of strings used 🔤
• version_str_len — length of version_str. (so you know how much string to expect, bestie)
• version_str — component version information. the lore. the backstory. 💜

whew 😮‍💨 that's the whole squad and they're all slaying in ./include/linux/pds. 🌈

ngl go read that header file if you want the full picture — this page is just the cute little intro, the real tea is in ./include/linux/pds/pds_core_if.h 🍓

and that's a wrap bestie!! this page lives in ./include/linux/pds, dated October 2026, and it's struct pds_...sh_component(9) all the way down — that truncated header is not a typo, it's just the manpage being mysterious 🙈💜 mwah, go forth and identify your components 💅✨
