Detailed Description
IEEE 802.15.4 configuration routines.
The functions in this group configure RAIL IEEE 802.15.4 hardware acceleration which includes IEEE 802.15.4 format filtering, address filtering, acking, and filtering based on the frame type.
To configure IEEE 802.15.4 functionality, the application must first setup a RAIL instance as normal with RAIL_Init() and other setup functions. Instead of RAIL_ConfigChannels() and RAIL_ConfigRadio() , however, an application may use RAIL_IEEE802154_Config2p4GHzRadio() to setup the official IEEE 2.4GHz 802.15.4 PHY. This configuration is shown below.
To configure address filtering the application can call RAIL_IEEE802154_SetAddresses() with a structure containing all addresses or can call the individual RAIL_IEEE802154_SetPanId() , RAIL_IEEE802154_SetShortAddress() , and RAIL_IEEE802154_SetLongAddress() APIs. RAIL supports RAIL_IEEE802154_MAX_ADDRESSES number of address pairs for situations where you want to receive packets from multiple IEEE 802.15.4 networks at the same time. Broadcast addresses are supported by default without any additional configuration so they do not consume one of these slots. If the application does not require all address pairs be sure to set unused ones to the proper disabled value for each type. These can be found in the RAIL_IEEE802154_AddrConfig_t documentation. Below is an example of setting filtering for one set of addresses.
Address filtering will be enabled except when in promiscuous mode which can be set with RAIL_IEEE802154_SetPromiscuousMode() . The addresses may be changed at runtime but if you are receiving a packet while reconfiguring the address filters you may get undesired behavior so it's safest to do this while not in receive.
Auto ACK is controlled by the ackConfig and timings fields passed to RAIL_IEEE802154_Init() . After initialization though they may be controlled using the normal Auto ACK and State Transitions APIs. When in IEEE 802.15.4 mode the ACK will have a 5 byte length, the frame type will be set to ack, and the frame pending bit will be set if RAIL_IEEE802154_SetFramePending() is called when the RAIL_EVENT_IEEE802154_DATA_REQUEST_COMMAND event is triggered. This event must be turned on by the user and will fire whenever a data request is being received so that the stack can determine whether there is pending data. Be aware that the frame pending bit must be set quickly after receiving the event or the ACK may already have been transmitted. Check the return code of RAIL_IEEE802154_SetFramePending() to be sure that the bit was set in time.
Transmit and receive operations are all done using the standard RAIL APIs in IEEE 802.15.4 mode. To send packets using the correct CSMA configuration there is a RAIL_CSMA_CONFIG_802_15_4_2003_2p4_GHz_OQPSK_CSMA define that can initialize the csmaConfig structure passed to RAIL_StartCcaCsmaTx() .

◆ RAIL_IEEE802154_AcceptFrames()
RAIL_Status_t RAIL_IEEE802154_AcceptFrames | ( | RAIL_Handle_t |
railHandle,
|
uint8_t |
framesMask
|
||
) |
Set which 802.15.4 frame types to accept.
- Parameters
-
[in] railHandle
Handle of RAIL instance [in] framesMask
Mask containing which 802.15.4 frame types to receive
- Returns
- Status code indicating success of the function call.
This function will fail if 802.15.4 hardware acceleration is not currently enabled. This setting may be changed at any time when 802.15.4 hardware acceleration is enabled. Only Beacon, Data, Ack, and Command frames may be received. The RAIL_IEEE802154_ACCEPT_XXX_FRAMES defines may be combined to create a bitmask to pass into this function.
RAIL_IEEE802154_ACCEPT_ACK_FRAMES behaves slightly different than the other defines. If RAIL_IEEE802154_ACCEPT_ACK_FRAMES is set, the radio will accept an ACK frame during normal packet reception. If RAIL_IEEE802154_ACCEPT_ACK_FRAMES is not set, ACK frames will be filtered unless the radio is waiting for an ACK.
