📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 zynqmp_pm_get_chipid(9) — like, the whole glow-up

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ This one's about zynqmp_pm_get_chipid(9), and no cap, it's short but it's iconic. Let's get into it 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

zynqmp_pm_get_chipid — Get silicon ID registers 🔥

Like, it literally goes and grabs the silicon ID registers for you. That's the whole vibe. iykyk 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int zynqmp_pm_get_chipid (u32 *idcode , u32 *version );

so you call it, you hand it two pointers, and it returns an int (which is the status, we'll get to that 👀). The spacing in there is exactly as the manpage says it — do not come for me 🫶

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

Two args, both of them pointers to u32, both of them literally the whole point of the function:

  • idcode — the IDCODE register 💖 Like, this is where the IDCODE lands.
  • version — the version register 🎀 Yeah. The version goes here.

that's it, that's the arguments, and yes they're both required — you're passing pointers in, so no sneaky NULL-ish games being described here, mkay? 🙈

💜 RETURN 💜

So the function returns the status of the operation, AND it drops the idcode and version registers into idcode and version respectively. Like a little two-for-one deal 🔥 Status out the return, data out the pointers. Obsessed, honestly.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay this is the part where the manpage just absolutely spills — it's giving main character energy, it's giving "I know everyone at this party" 💀 Every one of these, no skipping, no summarising, periodt:

Kernel file ./drivers/firmware/xilinx/zynqmp.c and friends:

And the directory it all lives in: ./drivers/firmware/xilinx 🧚

ngl bestie, that SEE ALSO list is longer than my attention span, but we got through it together 🫶💖

⭐ okay that's the page!! quick cute sign-off: this lil beauty comes from ./drivers/firmware/xilinx and it's dated October 2026 🌸 Thanks for reading, mwah 💋✨🎀
