okay bestie, buckle up β this is vcn_v5_0_0_start_dpg_mode(9) from the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and it's literally about kicking the VCN block into dpg mode π
πΈ NAME πΈ
vcn_v5_0_0_start_dpg_mode β VCN start with dpg mode. that's it, that's the whole vibe π
β SYNOPSIS β
int vcn_v5_0_0_start_dpg_mode (struct amdgpu_vcn_inst *vinst , bool indirect );
it returns an int, it takes two things, and yes the spacing is exactly like that, don't come for me π«Ά
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
vinstβ the VCN instance π like, the actual thing you're starting upindirectβ aboolfor indirectly write sram. yes, "indirectly write sram", that's the whole description, and no I will not elaborate because the original didn't π
π§ DESCRIPTION π§
