RAIL_IrCalValues_t#

typedef uint32_t RAIL_IrCalValues_t[1] [1]

RAIL_IrCalValues_t.

An IR calibration value structure.

This definition contains the set of persistent calibration values for EFR32. You can set these beforehand and apply them at startup to save the time required to compute them. Any of these values may be set to RAIL_IRCAL_INVALID_VALUE to force the code to compute that calibration value.

RAIL_CalValues_t#

RAIL_CalValues_t

A calibration value structure.

This structure contains the set of persistent calibration values for EFR32. You can set these beforehand and apply them at startup to save the time required to compute them. Any of these values may be set to RAIL_CAL_INVALID_VALUE to force the code to compute that calibration value.

RAIL_ApplyIrCalibration#

RAIL_Status_t RAIL_ApplyIrCalibration (RAIL_Handle_t railHandle, uint32_t imageRejection)

Apply a given image rejection calibration value.

Returns

• A status code indicating success of the function call.

Take an image rejection calibration value and apply it. This value should be determined from a previous run of RAIL_CalibrateIr on the same physical device with the same radio configuration. The imageRejection value will also be stored to the RAIL_ChannelConfigEntry_t::attr, if possible.

If multiple protocols are used, this function will return RAIL_STATUS_INVALID_STATE if it is called and the given railHandle is not active. In that case, the caller must attempt to re-call this function later.

DeprecatedPlease use RAIL_ApplyIrCalibrationAlt instead.

RAIL_ApplyIrCalibrationAlt#

RAIL_Status_t RAIL_ApplyIrCalibrationAlt (RAIL_Handle_t railHandle, RAIL_IrCalValues_t *imageRejection, RAIL_AntennaSel_t rfPath)

Apply a given image rejection calibration value.

Returns

• A status code indicating success of the function call.

Take an image rejection calibration value and apply it. This value should be determined from a previous run of RAIL_CalibrateIrAlt on the same physical device with the same radio configuration. The imageRejection value will also be stored to the RAIL_ChannelConfigEntry_t::attr, if possible. Note

• : To make sure the imageRejection value is stored/configured correctly, RAIL_ConfigAntenna should be called before calling this API.

If multiple protocols are used, this function will return RAIL_STATUS_INVALID_STATE if it is called and the given railHandle is not active. In that case, the caller must attempt to re-call this function later.

RAIL_CalibrateIr#

RAIL_Status_t RAIL_CalibrateIr (RAIL_Handle_t railHandle, uint32_t *imageRejection)

Run the image rejection calibration.

Returns

• A status code indicating success of the function call.

Run the image rejection calibration and apply the resulting value. If the imageRejection parameter is not NULL, store the value at that location. The imageRejection value will also be stored to the RAIL_ChannelConfigEntry_t::attr, if possible. This is a long-running calibration that adds significant code space when run and can be run with a separate firmware image on each device to save code space in the final image.

If multiple protocols are used, this function will make the given railHandle active, if not already, and perform calibration. If called during a protocol switch, it will return RAIL_STATUS_INVALID_STATE. In this case, RAIL_ApplyIrCalibration may be called to apply a previously determined IR calibration value, or the app must defer calibration until the protocol switch is complete. Silicon Labs recommends calling this function from the application main loop.

DeprecatedPlease use RAIL_CalibrateIrAlt instead.

RAIL_CalibrateIrAlt#

RAIL_Status_t RAIL_CalibrateIrAlt (RAIL_Handle_t railHandle, RAIL_IrCalValues_t *imageRejection, RAIL_AntennaSel_t rfPath)

Run the image rejection calibration.

Returns

RAIL_IEEE802154_CalibrateIr2p4Ghz#

RAIL_Status_t RAIL_IEEE802154_CalibrateIr2p4Ghz (RAIL_Handle_t railHandle, uint32_t *imageRejection)

Calibrate image rejection for IEEE 802.15.4 2.4 GHz.

Returns

• A status code indicating success of the function call.

Some chips have protocol-specific image rejection calibrations programmed into their flash. This function will either get the value from flash and apply it, or run the image rejection algorithm to find the value.

RAIL_IEEE802154_CalibrateIrSubGhz#

RAIL_Status_t RAIL_IEEE802154_CalibrateIrSubGhz (RAIL_Handle_t railHandle, uint32_t *imageRejection)

Calibrate image rejection for IEEE 802.15.4 915 MHz and 868 MHz.

Returns

• A status code indicating success of the function call.

Some chips have protocol-specific image rejection calibrations programmed into their flash. This function will either get the value from flash and apply it, or run the image rejection algorithm to find the value.

RAIL_BLE_CalibrateIr#

RAIL_Status_t RAIL_BLE_CalibrateIr (RAIL_Handle_t railHandle, uint32_t *imageRejection)

Calibrate image rejection for Bluetooth Low Energy.

Returns

• A status code indicating success of the function call.

Some chips have protocol-specific image rejection calibrations programmed into their flash. This function will either get the value from flash and apply it, or run the image rejection algorithm to find the value.

RAIL_CalibrateTemp#

RAIL_Status_t RAIL_CalibrateTemp (RAIL_Handle_t railHandle)

Run the temperature calibration.

Returns

• A status code indicating success of the function call.

Run the temperature calibration, which needs to recalibrate the synth if the temperature crosses 0C or the temperature delta since the last calibration exceeds 70C while in receive. RAIL will run the VCO calibration automatically upon entering receive or transmit states, so the application can omit this calibration if the stack re-enters receive or transmit with enough frequency to avoid reaching the temperature delta. If the application does not calibrate for temperature, it's possible to miss receive packets due to a drift in the carrier frequency.

If multiple protocols are used, this function will return RAIL_STATUS_INVALID_STATE if it is called and the given railHandle is not active. In that case, the calibration will be automatically performed next time the radio enters receive.

RAIL_CalibrateHFXO#

RAIL_Status_t RAIL_CalibrateHFXO (RAIL_Handle_t railHandle, int8_t *crystalPPMError)

Performs HFXO compensation.

Returns

• A status code indicating the result of the function call.

Compute the PPM correction using the thermistor value available when RAIL_EVENT_THERMISTOR_DONE occurs, after RAIL_StartThermistorMeasurement() call. Then correct the RF frequency as well as Tx and Rx sampling.

This function calls the following RAIL functions in sequence saving having to call them individually:

• RAIL_ConvertThermistorImpedance()

• RAIL_ComputeHFXOPPMError()

• RAIL_CompensateHFXO()

Note

• This function makes the radio idle.
