Detailed Description

Function Documentation

uint32_t sd_app_evt_wait ( void  )

Waits for an application event.

An application event is either an application interrupt or a pended interrupt when the interrupt is disabled. When the interrupt is enabled it will be taken immediately since this function will wait in thread mode, then the execution will return in the application's main thread. When an interrupt is disabled and gets pended it will return to the application's thread main. The application must ensure that the pended flag is cleared using sd_nvic_ClearPendingIRQ in order to sleep using this function. This is only necessary for disabled interrupts, as the interrupt handler will clear the pending flag automatically for enabled interrupts.

In order to wake up from disabled interrupts, the SEVONPEND flag has to be set in the Cortex-M0 System Control Register (SCR).

See Also
CMSIS_SCB
Note
If an application interrupt has happened since the last time sd_app_evt_wait was called this function will return immediately and not go to sleep. This is to avoid race conditions that can occur when a flag is updated in the interrupt handler and processed in the main loop.
Postcondition
An application interrupt has happened or a interrupt pending flag is set.
Return values
NRF_SUCCESS
uint32_t sd_clock_hfclk_is_running ( uint32_t *  p_is_running)

Checks if the high frequency crystal oscillator is running.

See Also
sd_clock_hfclk_request
sd_clock_hfclk_release
Parameters
[out]p_is_running1 if the external crystal oscillator is running, 0 if not.
Return values
NRF_SUCCESS
uint32_t sd_clock_hfclk_release ( void  )

Releases the high frequency crystal oscillator.

Will stop the high frequency crystal oscillator, this happens immediately.

See Also
sd_clock_hfclk_is_running
sd_clock_hfclk_request
Return values
NRF_SUCCESS
uint32_t sd_clock_hfclk_request ( void  )

Request the high frequency crystal oscillator.

Will start the high frequency crystal oscillator, the startup time of the crystal varies and the sd_clock_hfclk_is_running function can be polled to check if it has started.

See Also
sd_clock_hfclk_is_running
sd_clock_hfclk_release
Return values
NRF_SUCCESS
uint32_t sd_ecb_block_encrypt ( nrf_ecb_hal_data_t p_ecb_data)

NRF_SUCCESS
uint32_t sd_evt_get ( uint32_t *  p_evt_id)

Gets any pending events generated by the SoC API.

The application should keep calling this function to get events, until NRF_ERROR_NOT_FOUND is returned.

Parameters
[out]p_evt_idSet to one of the values in NRF_SOC_EVTS, if any events are pending.
Return values
NRF_SUCCESSAn event was pending. The event id is written in the p_evt_id parameter.

uint32_t sd_radio_notification_cfg_set ( nrf_radio_notification_type_t  type,
nrf_radio_notification_distance_t  distance 
)

Configures the Radio Notification signal.

Note
  • The notification signal latency depends on the interrupt priority settings of SWI used for notification signal.
  • To ensure that the radio notification signal behaves in a consistent way, always configure radio notifications when there is no protocol stack or other SoftDevice activity in progress. It is recommended that the radio notification signal is configured directly after the SoftDevice has been enabled.
  • In the period between the ACTIVE signal and the start of the Radio Event, the SoftDevice will interrupt the application to do Radio Event preparation.
  • Using the Radio Notification feature may limit the bandwidth, as the SoftDevice may have to shorten the connection events to have time for the Radio Notification signals.
Parameters
[in]typeType of notification signal. NRF_RADIO_NOTIFICATION_TYPE_NONE shall be used to turn off radio notification. Using NRF_RADIO_NOTIFICATION_DISTANCE_NONE is recommended (but not required) to be used with NRF_RADIO_NOTIFICATION_TYPE_NONE.
[in]distanceDistance between the notification signal and start of radio activity. This parameter is ignored when NRF_RADIO_NOTIFICATION_TYPE_NONE or NRF_RADIO_NOTIFICATION_TYPE_INT_ON_INACTIVE is used.
Return values
NRF_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMThe group number is invalid.
NRF_SUCCESS
uint32_t sd_radio_request ( nrf_radio_request_t p_request)

Requests a radio timeslot.

Note
The request type is determined by p_request->request_type, and can be one of NRF_RADIO_REQ_TYPE_EARLIEST and NRF_RADIO_REQ_TYPE_NORMAL. The first request in a session must always be of type NRF_RADIO_REQ_TYPE_EARLIEST.
For a normal request (NRF_RADIO_REQ_TYPE_NORMAL), the start time of a radio timeslot is specified by p_request->distance_us and is given relative to the start of the previous timeslot.
A too small p_request->distance_us will lead to a NRF_EVT_RADIO_BLOCKED event.
Timeslots scheduled too close will lead to a NRF_EVT_RADIO_BLOCKED event.
See the SoftDevice Specification for more on radio timeslot scheduling, distances and lengths.
If an opportunity for the first radio timeslot is not found before 100ms after the call to this function, it is not scheduled, and instead a NRF_EVT_RADIO_BLOCKED event is sent. The application may then try to schedule the first radio timeslot again.
Successful requests will result in nrf_radio_signal_callback_t(NRF_RADIO_CALLBACK_SIGNAL_TYPE_START). Unsuccessful requests will result in a NRF_EVT_RADIO_BLOCKED event, see NRF_SOC_EVTS.
The jitter in the start time of the radio timeslots is +/- NRF_RADIO_START_JITTER_US us.
The nrf_radio_signal_callback_t(NRF_RADIO_CALLBACK_SIGNAL_TYPE_START) call has a latency relative to the specified radio timeslot start, but this does not affect the actual start time of the timeslot.
NRF_TIMER0 is reset at the start of the radio timeslot, and is clocked at 1MHz from the high frequency (16 MHz) clock source. If p_request->hfclk_force_xtal is true, the high frequency clock is guaranteed to be clocked from the external crystal.
The SoftDevice will neither access the NRF_RADIO peripheral nor the NRF_TIMER0 peripheral during the radio timeslot.
Parameters
[in]p_requestPointer to the request parameters.
Return values
NRF_ERROR_FORBIDDENIf session not opened or the session is not IDLE.
NRF_ERROR_INVALID_ADDRIf the p_request pointer is invalid.
NRF_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMIf the parameters of p_request are not valid.
NRF_SUCCESSOtherwise.
uint32_t sd_radio_session_close ( void  )

Closes a session for radio requests.

Note
Any current radio timeslot will be finished before the session is closed.
If a radio timeslot is scheduled when the session is closed, it will be canceled.
The application cannot consider the session closed until the NRF_EVT_RADIO_SESSION_CLOSED event is received.
Return values
NRF_ERROR_FORBIDDENIf session not opened.
NRF_ERROR_BUSYIf session is currently being closed.
NRF_SUCCESSOtherwise.
uint32_t sd_radio_session_open ( nrf_radio_signal_callback_t  p_radio_signal_callback)

Opens a session for radio requests.

Note
Only one session can be open at a time.
p_radio_signal_callback(NRF_RADIO_CALLBACK_SIGNAL_TYPE_START) will be called when the radio timeslot starts. From this point the NRF_RADIO and NRF_TIMER0 peripherals can be freely accessed by the application.
p_radio_signal_callback(NRF_RADIO_CALLBACK_SIGNAL_TYPE_TIMER0) is called whenever the NRF_TIMER0 interrupt occurs.
p_radio_signal_callback(NRF_RADIO_CALLBACK_SIGNAL_TYPE_RADIO) is called whenever the NRF_RADIO interrupt occurs.
p_radio_signal_callback() will be called at ARM interrupt priority level 0. This implies that none of the sd_* API calls can be used from p_radio_signal_callback().
Parameters
[in]p_radio_signal_callbackThe signal callback.
Return values
NRF_ERROR_INVALID_ADDRp_radio_signal_callback is an invalid function pointer.
NRF_ERROR_BUSYIf session cannot be opened.
NRF_ERROR_INTERNALIf a new session could not be opened due to an internal error.
NRF_SUCCESSOtherwise.
uint32_t sd_rand_application_bytes_available_get ( uint8_t *  p_bytes_available)

Get number of random bytes available to the application.

Parameters
[out]p_bytes_availableThe number of bytes currently available in the pool.
Return values
NRF_SUCCESS
uint32_t sd_rand_application_pool_capacity_get ( uint8_t *  p_pool_capacity)

Query the capacity of the application random pool.

Parameters
[out]p_pool_capacityThe capacity of the pool.
Return values
NRF_SUCCESS
uint32_t sd_rand_application_vector_get ( uint8_t *  p_buff,
uint8_t  length 
)

Get random bytes from the application pool.

Parameters
[out]p_buffPointer to unit8_t buffer for storing the bytes.
[in]lengthNumber of bytes to take from pool and place in p_buff.
Return values
NRF_SUCCESSThe requested bytes were written to p_buff.
NRF_ERROR_SOC_RAND_NOT_ENOUGH_VALUESNo bytes were written to the buffer, because there were not enough bytes available.
uint32_t sd_temp_get ( int32_t *  p_temp)

Get the temperature measured on the chip.

This function will block until the temperature measurement is done. It takes around 50us from call to return.

Note
Pan #28 in PAN-028 v 1.6 "Negative measured values are not represented correctly" is corrected by this function.
Parameters
[out]p_tempResult of temperature measurement. Die temperature in 0.25 degrees celsius.
Return values
NRF_SUCCESSA temperature measurement was done, and the temperature was written to temp
