STRUCT SOF_IPC_FW_LOADER_OPS(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for struct sof_ipc_fw_loader_ops — the IPC/FW-specific loader ops situation. this is the little struct that holds the loader function pointers, and it is lowkey iconic ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct sof_ipc_fw_loader_ops {
    int (*validate)(struct snd_sof_dev *sdev);
    size_t (*parse_ext_manifest)(struct snd_sof_dev *sdev);
    int (*load_fw_to_dsp)(struct snd_sof_dev *sdev);
 };

🎀 Members 🎀

• validate — the function pointer for validating the firmware image. vibe check for firmware, fr fr 🫶
• parse_ext_manifest — the function pointer for parsing the manifest of the firmware. manifest parsing main character energy 💅
• load_fw_to_dsp — optional function pointer for loading the firmware to the DSP. this function implements a generic, hardware independent way of loading the initial firmware and its modules (if any). yes bestie, “if any” is doing important work there 👑
