πŸ’… zynqmp_pm_sec_read_reg β€” bestie's guide to the Kernel API Manual (section 9) ✨

okay so picture this: you're deep in the Xilinx PM firmware world, and you need to securely read a little chunk of a node's registers. that's literally the whole vibe of this function. it's zynqmp_pm_sec_read_reg, it lives in the section 9 of the Kernel API Manual, and it's giving "trusted middleman energy" 🫢


🌸 NAME 🌸

zynqmp_pm_sec_read_reg β€” a PM call that securely reads from a given offset of the node. no cap, that's it, that's the job πŸ’–


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

int zynqmp_pm_sec_read_reg (u32 node_id , u32 offset , u32 *ret_value );

three params, one int coming back at you. slay.


✨ ARGUMENTS ✨ (the receipts)

  • node_id β€” the Node Id of the device. like, which node are we even talking about, bestie? this one. πŸ¦‹
  • offset β€” the offset to be used. and heads up: it's a 20-bit offset, so don't go wild with the big numbers, ok? 🌸
  • ret_value β€” your output data, read from the given offset, and it only shows up after the firmware access policy has been successfully enforced. so it's the "trust but verify" parameter, fr fr πŸ”₯

⭐ RETURN ⭐

Returns 0 on success, or an error value on failure. classic. no notes. πŸ’…


πŸ‘‘ SEE ALSO πŸ‘‘ (the whole group chat, no one left out)


quick vibe check, bestie: ret_value is output β€” you're handing over a pointer, and you only get meaningful data back once the firmware access policy is successfully enforced. don't skip the return check. 😭
