STRUCT PDS_CORE_SEND_PKG_DATA_CMD(9)

✨ NAME ✨

struct pds_core_send_pkg_data_cmd — the Send package data command 💌 (this is from the Kernel API Manual, btw, in case you were wondering where we are 🎀)

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay bestie, here's the whole struct, exactly as it lives, no edits no cap:

struct pds_core_send_pkg_data_cmd {
    u8 opcode;
    u8 ver;
    __le16 total_len;
    __le16 offset;
    __le16 data_len;
    __le64 data_pa;
 };

💅 Members 💅

so this is the part where I introduce you to everybody in the group chat 🌸

• opcode — the opcode, and it is PDS_CORE_CMD_SEND_PKG_DATA — that's literally its whole personality ✨
• ver — the max version of this command that the driver supports 👑
• total_len — total length of the package data 📦
• offset — where you're at inside the package data; it's non-zero if you need multiple commands to send the whole package data (iykyk) 🔥
• data_len — the length of the data stored over at data_pa 💜
• data_pa — the data's physical address, for DMA to the device 🦋

---

🌈 Description 🌈

okay so here's the tea 🍓: the package data can be Too Big™ to fit in a single buffer, which means you might genuinely need multiple PDS_CORE_CMD_SEND_PKG_DATA devcmds to get it all sent. not me packing light 💀 it's giving checked luggage energy.
