t4_get_bs_version(9)

✨ t4_get_bs_version ✨

ok so bestie, you're in the Kernel API Manual section 9 and the page you want is t4_get_bs_version — yes it's a mouthful, yes it's iconic, no we're not pronouncing it out loud 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

t4_get_bs_version — read the firmware bootstrap version 🫶

---

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

int t4_get_bs_version (struct adapter *adapter , u32 *vers );

like, that's the whole vibe. one function, two args, zero drama ✨

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• adapter — the adapter bestie. the actual card you're talking to 💖
• vers — where to place the version. it's a u32 *, so hand it somewhere real to live, okay? 🙈

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Reads the FW Bootstrap version from flash.

that's it. that's the whole function. it goes to flash, it grabs the firmware bootstrap version, and it drops it wherever vers points. no cap, it's giving "small function, big responsibility" 👑
