ti_sci_cmd_proc_get_status(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🌸 ti_sci_cmd_proc_get_status 🌸

okay bestie, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's about one very specific little function: ti_sci_cmd_proc_get_status. yes that's a mouthful, we're gonna get through it together 💖

✨ NAME ✨

ti_sci_cmd_proc_get_status — Command to get the processor boot status 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ti_sci_cmd_proc_get_status (const struct ti_sci_handle *handle , u8
proc_id , u64 *bv , u32 *cfg_flags , u32 *ctrl_flags , u32 *sts_flags );

it's giving "six parameters, zero chill" but honestly it's not scary, come on 🫶

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • handle — Pointer to TI SCI handle. this is your little VIP pass, the whole connection to the TI SCI layer 💅
  • proc_id — Processor ID this request is for. like, which processor are we even talking about bestie, tell me everything
  • bv — Processor Boot vector (start address). the place it boots from, its little starting point 🌸
  • cfg_flags — Processor specific configuration flags ✨
  • ctrl_flags — Processor specific control flags 🎀
  • sts_flags — Processor specific status flags 🌈

also quick reminder that bv, cfg_flags, ctrl_flags and sts_flags are all pointers — that's the output side of the group chat, they get filled in for you 💜

✨ RETURN ✨

0 if all went well 💚 — otherwise it returns the appropriate error value, and honestly? that's the "read at 2:47am" of return codes 😭

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

the kernel file is ./drivers/firmware/ti_sci.c — that's the home base, the main character's house 🏠

and now the friend group. it is a massive friend group, no cap, I'm not skipping a single one of them:

like I said. huge friend group. everyone's invited to the function party 🎉

ngl bestie, if you got a non-zero back, don't panic — it just means "appropriate error value" and you go check what went sideways 🙈

and that's the whole page!! sourced from ./drivers/firmware, dated October 2026, manual ti_sci_cmd_proc_get_status(9) — mwah, go get that processor status, you absolute icon 👑💅💖
