STRUCT XPSGTR_SSC(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… struct xpsgtr_ssc(9) β€” the kernel API manual, but make it cute

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's all about one little struct. no cap, it's a whole vibe and honestly kinda iconic πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

struct xpsgtr_ssc β€” literally just the structure that holds the SSC settings for a lane πŸ¦‹

iykyk β€” SSC = Spread Spectrum Clock. we'll get there, don't worry πŸ’–

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct xpsgtr_ssc {
    u32 refclk_rate;
    u8 pll_ref_clk;
    u32 steps;
    u32 step_size;
 };

look at her. four fields. no drama. main character energy fr fr πŸ‘‘


πŸŽ€ Members πŸŽ€

  • refclk_rate β€” the PLL reference clock frequency, aka how fast the reference clock is going ⭐
  • pll_ref_clk β€” the value you write to the register for the corresponding ref clk rate. like, this is what goes in the box for that rate, periodt πŸ’…
  • steps β€” the number of steps of SSC (Spread Spectrum Clock). yes, SSC again. she's everywhere πŸ™ˆ
  • step_size β€” the step size of each step. every step has a size and this is it πŸ¦‹

ngl bestie, that's the whole page. no hidden lore, no surprise options, just the struct and her friends 🫢

okay that's it, that's the page ✨ thank you for coming to my ted talk β€” this lil guy lives in ./drivers/phy/xilinx, dated October 2026, and she goes by struct xpsgtr_ssc(9) if you ever need to look her up again πŸ’œπŸŽ€πŸŒˆ
