otError otPlatRadioDisable ( otInstance aInstance)

Disable the radio.

Parameters
[in]aInstanceThe OpenThread instance structure.
Return values
OT_ERROR_NONESuccessfully transitioned to Disabled.
otError otPlatRadioEnable ( otInstance aInstance)

Enable the radio.

Parameters
[in]aInstanceThe OpenThread instance structure.

OT_ERROR_FAILEDThe radio could not be enabled.
void otPlatRadioEnableSrcMatch ( otInstance aInstance,
bool  aEnable 
)

Enable/Disable source address match feature.

The source address match feature controls how the radio layer decides the "frame pending" bit for acks sent in response to data request commands from children.

If disabled, the radio layer must set the "frame pending" on all acks to data request commands.

If enabled, the radio layer uses the source address match table to determine whether to set or clear the "frame pending" bit in an ack to a data request command.

The source address match table provides the list of children for which there is a pending frame. Either a short address or an extended/long address can be added to the source address match table.

Parameters
[in]aInstanceThe OpenThread instance structure.
[in]aEnableEnable/disable source address match feature.

The caller must form the IEEE 802.15.4 frame in the buffer provided by otPlatRadioGetTransmitBuffer() before requesting transmission. The channel and transmit power are also included in the otRadioFrame structure.

The transmit sequence consists of:

  1. Transitioning the radio to Transmit from Receive.
  2. Transmits the psdu on the given channel and at the given transmit power.

[in]aInstanceThe OpenThread instance structure.
[in]aFrameA pointer to the transmitted frame.
Return values
OT_ERROR_NONESuccessfully transitioned to Transmit.
OT_ERROR_INVALID_STATEThe radio was not in the Receive state.
void otPlatRadioTxDone ( otInstance aInstance,
otRadioFrame aFrame,
otRadioFrame aAckFrame,
otError  aError 
)

The radio driver calls this function to notify OpenThread that the transmit operation has completed, providing both the transmitted frame and, if applicable, the received ack frame.

Parameters
[in]aInstanceThe OpenThread instance structure.
[in]aFrameA pointer to the frame that was transmitted.
[in]aAckFrameA pointer to the ACK frame, NULL if no ACK was received.
[in]aErrorOT_ERROR_NONE when the frame was transmitted, OT_ERROR_NO_ACK when the frame was transmitted but no ACK was received, OT_ERROR_CHANNEL_ACCESS_FAILURE when the transmission could not take place due to activity on the channel, OT_ERROR_ABORT when transmission was aborted for other reasons.
void otPlatRadioTxStarted ( otInstance aInstance,
otRadioFrame aFrame 
)

The radio driver calls this method to notify OpenThread that the transmission has started.

Note
This function should be called by the same thread that executes all of the other OpenThread code. It should not be called by ISR or any other task.
Parameters
[in]aInstanceA pointer to the OpenThread instance structure.
[in]aFrameA pointer to the frame that is being transmitted.
