Messaging#

Connect APIs and handlers for sending and receiving messages.

t_stack

Note that MAC mode and Extended star/direct mode use different APIs for messaging.

See message.h for source code.

Handlers#

The Application Framework implements all handlers, directly calling their associated callbacks. By default, Connect projects declare such callbacks as stubs in flex-callbacks-stubs.c. Hence, to use an enabled Connect feature, applications should replace the stub with their own implementation of the associated callback (typically in flex-callbacks.c). See UG235.04 for more info.

void
emberMessageSentHandler(EmberStatus status, EmberOutgoingMessage *message)

This handler is invoked when the stack has completed sending a message.

void
emberMacMessageSentHandler(EmberStatus status, EmberOutgoingMacMessage *message)

This handler is invoked when a node of EMBER_MAC_MODE_DEVICE type or EMBER_MAC_MODE_SLEEPY_DEVICE type has completed sending a MAC frame.

void
emberIncomingMessageHandler(EmberIncomingMessage *message)

This handler is invoked when a packet has been received from a node type other than EMBER_MAC_MODE_DEVICE or EMBER_MAC_MODE_SLEEPY_DEVICE.

void
emberIncomingMacMessageHandler(EmberIncomingMacMessage *message)

This handler is invoked when a node of EMBER_MAC_MODE_DEVICE type or EMBER_MAC_MODE_SLEEPY_DEVICE has received a MAC frame.

emberMessageSend(EmberNodeId destination, uint8_t endpoint, uint8_t messageTag, EmberMessageLength messageLength, uint8_t *message, EmberMessageOptions options)

Send a message to the passed destination short ID.

emberMacMessageSend(EmberMacFrame *macFrame, uint8_t messageTag, EmberMessageLength messageLength, uint8_t *message, EmberMessageOptions options)

Create a MAC level frame and sends it to the passed destination. This API can only be used for nodes of EMBER_MAC_MODE_DEVICE node type or EMBER_MAC_MODE_SLEEPY_DEVICE node type.

Send a data request command to the parent node. Note that if the node short ID is a value of EMBER_USE_LONG_ADDRESS, the node shall use its long ID as source address.

emberSetPollDestinationAddress(EmberMacAddress *destination)

Set data polls destination address for nodes of EMBER_MAC_MODE_DEVICE node type or EMBER_MAC_MODE_SLEEPY_DEVICE node type.

uint16_t
emberGetMaximumPayloadLength(EmberMacAddressMode srcAddressMode, EmberMacAddressMode dstAddressMode, bool interpan, bool secured)

Return the maximum payload according to the passed source and destination addressing modes, the passed secured flag, and the current configuration of the node.

bool

Indicates if the stack is currently using long messages or not.

emberNcpSetLongMessagesUse(bool useLongMessages)

Set the current message length that the stack uses.

Purge all indirect transmissions from the indirect message queue.

emberSetIndirectQueueTimeout(uint32_t timeoutMs)

Set indirect queue timeout value. The indirect queue timeout is set by default to EMBER_INDIRECT_TRANSMISSION_TIMEOUT_MS.

Macros#

#define

The maximum allowed endpoint value.

Send a message to the passed destination short ID.

Parameters
[in]destination

The destination node short ID.

[in]endpoint

The destination endpoint of the outgoing message. This value can't exceed EMBER_MAX_ENDPOINT.

[in]messageTag

A value chosen by the application. This value will be passed in the corresponding emberMessageSentHandler() call.

[in]messageLength

The size of the message payload in bytes. Use the emberGetMaximumPayloadLength() API to determine the maximum message length allowed.

emberMacMessageSend#

EmberStatus emberMacMessageSend (EmberMacFrame * macFrame, uint8_t messageTag, EmberMessageLength messageLength, uint8_t * message, EmberMessageOptions options)

Create a MAC level frame and sends it to the passed destination. This API can only be used for nodes of EMBER_MAC_MODE_DEVICE node type or EMBER_MAC_MODE_SLEEPY_DEVICE node type.

Parameters
[in]macFrame

A pointer to an EmberMacFrame struct that specifies the source and destination addresses and the source and destination PAN IDs for the message to be sent. Note that if the source/destination PAN ID is not specified, it defaults to the node's PAN ID. Also, the destination address mode must be either EMBER_MAC_ADDRESS_MODE_SHORT or EMBER_MAC_ADDRESS_MODE_LONG.

[in]messageTag

A value chosen by the application. This value will be passed in the corresponding emberMacMessageSentHandler() call.

[in]messageLength

The size in bytes of the message payload. The application can use the emberGetMaximumPayloadLength() API to determine the maximum allowable payload, given a permutation of source and destination addressing and other TX options.

[in]message

A pointer to an array of bytes containing the message payload.

[in]options

Specifies the EmberMessageOptions for the outgoing message.

emberUsingLongMessages#

bool emberUsingLongMessages (void )

Indicates if the stack is currently using long messages or not.

Parameters
N/A

Returns

  • True if the stack currently uses long messages (length stored in a uint16_t) or false if it is not the case (length stored in a uint8_t).


Definition at line 351 of file /mnt/raid/workspaces/ws.Iq463TQni/overlay/gsdk/protocol/flex/stack/include/message.h

emberNcpSetLongMessagesUse#

EmberStatus emberNcpSetLongMessagesUse (bool useLongMessages)

Set the current message length that the stack uses.

Parameters
[in]useLongMessages

True to use long messages (length stored in a uint16_t), false to use short messages (length stored in a uint8_t).

Note

  • This API is here to assure retro compatibility with old NCP Host lib versions. In NCP Host lib versions that do not support OFDM features (v1.1 and older), only short messaging is supported. For the NCP, short messages are used by default. The Host lib needs to call this API with useLongMessages set to true if it supports OFDM.

Warnings

  • This API changes the behavior of the Connect Serialization Protocol. It only has effect when using a RTOS or the NCP. Changing it may result in packets being incorrectly transfered through CSP when using a SUN-OFDM or SUN-FSK PHY.
