Zpal-init#

Defines a platform abstraction layer for the Z-Wave initialization.

How to use the initialization API

The ZPAL initialization API is required to validate if application can be run on specific chip.

zpal_init_is_valid() must be implemented as Z-Wave always invokes it. zpal_init_invalidate() will be invoked only if zpal_init_is_valid() return false. zpal_system_startup() is an externally defined and implemented by Z-Wave SDK.

The following outlines an example of use:

1. Initialize hardware.

2. Invoke zpal_system_startup() at the end of main().

3. During Z-Wave SDK initialization zpal_init_is_valid() will be invoked.

4. If zpal_init_is_valid() returns false, zpal_init_invalidate() will be invoked.

Requirements:

• The ZPAL initialization requires that zpal_system_startup() is invoked at the end of main() after hardware initialization is done. (check main() from PAL/templates/main.c)

• Function zpal_init_invalidate() never exits. It must setup the hardware so that the chip stops working.
