STRUCT TEE_CMD_LOAD_TA(9)

💖 struct tee_cmd_load_ta (9) — like, the kernel API manual bestie 💖

okay so real talk, this is the man page for struct tee_cmd_load_ta — it's the struct that loads a Trusted Application (TA) binary into the TEE. yes. that. sit with it, it's iconic. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct tee_cmd_load_ta — load Trusted Application (TA) binary into TEE</p> 🎀

like, that's literally its whole job and it ate. no notes. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct tee_cmd_load_ta {
    u32 low_addr;
    u32 hi_addr;
    u32 size;
    u32 ta_handle;
    u32 return_origin;
 };

yes bestie, five u32s, that's the whole vibe. 🫶

🦋 Members 🦋

okay so let's go through the squad one by one, no skipping, every single one matters:

• low_addr — [in] bits [31:0] of the physical address of the TA binary. the low half, the little spoon, the bottom 32 bits. 💜
• hi_addr — [in] bits [63:32] of the physical address of the TA binary. the high half! together with low_addr they make the full 64-bit physical address, and honestly that's teamwork. 🫂
• size — [in] size of TA binary in bytes. so like how big the TA actually is. byte count, periodt. 📏
• ta_handle — [out] return handle of the loaded TA. this is the kernel handing you back a handle once the TA is loaded, so hold onto it, bestie, you'll need it. 🔥
• return_origin — [out] origin of return code after TEE processing. like, where did the return code come from?? this tells you. 🌈

heads up: three are [in] (you fill them in) and two are [out] (the kernel fills them in for you). don't mix them up or it's giving undefined chaos. 😭
