Radio state enumeration

Enumerator:

Function Documentation

radio_cca_t radio_do_cca ( void   ) 

Perform CCA Measure.

Returns:
cca status (see radio_cca_t)

void radio_force_state ( radio_state_t  state  ) 

Force the radio to the requested state. (using CMD_FORCE_TRX_OFF).

Parameters:
state requested radio state

void radio_init ( uint8_t *  rxbuf,
uint8_t  rxbufsz 
)

Radio related ressource initialization.

The function initializes all IO ressources, needed for the usage of the radio and performs a reset.

Parameters:
rxbuf A buffer for the receive frames. This buffer needs to be static, and of size MAX_FRAME_SIZE (see also function usr_radio_receive_frame).
rxbufsz maximum size of the rx buffer, frames longer then rxbufsz will be ignored

void radio_send_frame ( uint8_t  len,
uint8_t *  frm,
uint8_t  compcrc 
)

Frame transmission.

Initiates a frame transmission procedure, and then downloads the frame passed as frm. The function returns immediately once the frame download procedure completed; the end of transmission is signalled by the usr_radio_tx_done callback. If the radio is in STATE_TXAUTO, a full unslotted CSMA-CA is procedure is performed by the transceiver hardware, including frame retransmissions in case the transmitted frame has requested an acknowledgement by the recipient. If the transceiver is in STATE_TX, an immediate frame transmission is initiated, without CSMA-CA or frame retransmissions.

Parameters:
len length of frame to transmit
frm pointer to frame to transmit
compcrc compute CRC-16 if != 0 (currently ignored)

void radio_set_param ( radio_attribute_t  attr,
radio_param_t  parm 
)

Set a radio parameter.

Note that the radio must not be in STATE_SLEEP when setting parameters. Preferrably, it should be kept in STATE_OFF (in which it is immediately after a call to radio_init) in order to set parameters.

Parameters:
attr attribute parameter (enumeration value radio_attribute_t)
parm pointer to parameter value (union type radio_param_t)

void radio_set_state ( radio_state_t  state  ) 

Bring the the radio in the requested state.

Parameters:
state requested radio state

void usr_radio_error ( radio_error_t  err  ) 

Error callback function which has to be implemented in the application.

This function is called, when a fatal error occurs. see also radio_error_t.

Parameters:
err error code being reported

void usr_radio_irq ( uint8_t  cause  ) 

Interrupt callback function.

Parameters:
cause value of the transceiver's IRQ status register

uint8_t* usr_radio_receive_frame ( uint8_t  len,
uint8_t *  frm,
uint8_t  lqi,
uint8_t  rssi,
uint8_t  crc_fail 
)

Frame reception callback function.

This function is called within an interrupt context for every received frame, according to the current receive mode used (which involves address filtering in case the transceiver is in state RX_AUTO). The frame has been internally stored into the receive buffer that has been configured before, either by radio_init, or as the result of a previous call to usr_radio_receive_frame. The function must return a valid pointer to a receive buffer to be used for receiving the next frame; this can be the same value as the parameter frm, or a different one in case the application wants to maintain multiple buffers.

The rssi parameter is obtained at the frame's RX_START interrupt. If there was no RX_START interrupt to read an RSSI value at, the value VOID_RSSI is passed instead.

Parameters:
len length of frame received
frm pointer to frame received
lqi LQI value reported by transceiver
rssi RSSI value obtained from transceiver
crc_fail boolean indicating whether the received frame failed FCS verification
Returns:
address of new receive buffer

void usr_radio_tx_done ( radio_tx_done_t  status  ) 

Transmit done callback function.

Parameters:
status completion status, radio_tx_done_t
