Function Documentation

bool nrf_esb_init ( nrf_esb_mode_t mode )

Parameters

mode	The mode to initialize ESB in.

Return values

true	If ESB initialized.
false	If ESB failed to initialize.

void nrf_esb_enable ( void )

Equivalent to setting CE high in legacy ESB.

When enabled the behaviour described for the current ESB mode will apply.

void nrf_esb_disable ( void )

Equivalent to setting CE low in legacy ESB.

When calling this function ESB will begin disabling, and will be fully disabled when ESB calls nrf_esb_disabled(). If there are any pending notifications (callbacks) , or if any new notifications are being added to the internal notification queue while ESB is disabling, these will be sent to the application before ESB is fully disabled.

After ESB has been fully disabled, no more notifications will be sent to the application.

bool nrf_esb_is_enabled ( void )

Check whether ESB is enabled or disabled.

Return values

true	If ESB is enabled.
false	If ESB is disabled.

void nrf_esb_tx_success	(	uint32_t	tx_pipe,
		int32_t	rssi
	)

In PTX mode this function is called after the PTX has sent a packet and received the corresponding ACK packet from a PRX.

In PRX mode this function is called after a payload in ACK is assumed successfully transmitted, that is when the PRX received a new packet (new PID or CRC) and the previous ACK sent to a PTX contained a payload.

Parameters

tx_pipe	The pipe on which the ACK packet was received.
rssi	Received signal strength indicator in dBm of measured ACK.

As the RSSI measurement requires a minimum on-air duration of the received packet, the measured RSSI value will not be reliable when ALL of the following criteria are met:

Datarate = 2 Mbps
Payload length = 0
CRC is off

void nrf_esb_tx_failed ( uint32_t tx_pipe )

This is called after the maximum number of TX attempts were reached for a packet. The packet is deleted from the TX FIFO.

Note that when NRF_ESB_PACKET_NO_ACK is used this callback is always made after sending a packet.

See Also: nrf_esb_set_max_number_of_tx_attempts().

Parameters

tx_pipe The pipe that failed to send a packet.

void nrf_esb_rx_data_ready	(	uint32_t	rx_pipe,
		int32_t	rssi
	)

PTX mode: This is called after an ACK is received from a PRX containing a payload.

PRX mode: This is called after a packet is received from a PTX ACK is received from a PRX containing a payload.

Parameters

rx_pipe	is the pipe on which a packet was received. This value must be < NRF_ESB_CONST_PIPE_COUNT.
rssi	Received signal strength indicator in dBm of packet.

As the RSSI measurement requires a minimum on-air duration of the received packet, the measured RSSI value will not be reliable when ALL of the following criteria are met:

Datarate = 2 Mbps
Payload length = 0
CRC is off

void nrf_esb_disabled ( void )

This is called after ESB enters the disabled state. There is no further CPU use by ESB, the radio is disabled and the timer is powered down.

bool nrf_esb_add_packet_to_tx_fifo	(	uint32_t	pipe,
		uint8_t *	payload,
		uint32_t	payload_length,
		nrf_esb_packet_t	packet_type
	)

In PTX mode, the packet will be transmitted at the next occation when ESB is enabled. In PRX mode, the payload will be piggybacked to onto an ACK.

Parameters

payload	Pointer to the payload.
payload_length	The number of bytes of the payload to transmit.
pipe	The pipe for which to add the payload. This value must be < NRF_ESB_CONST_PIPE_COUNT.
packet_type	Specifies whether an ACK is required (ignored when in PRX mode, or when the dynamic ack feature is disabled).

See Also: nrf_esb_enable_dyn_ack()

Return values

true	If the packet was successfully added to the TX FIFO.
false	If pipe was invalid, payload pointer was NULL, payload length was invalid, insufficient space in FIFO memory pool or insufficient packets in TX queue.

nrf_esb_datarate_t nrf_esb_get_datarate ( void )

Returns: The current datarate.

bool nrf_esb_set_crc_length ( nrf_esb_crc_length_t length )

The CRC length should be the same on both PTX and PRX in order to ensure correct operation.

Parameters

length The CRC length.

Return values

false If ESB was enabled or the length was invalid.

nrf_esb_crc_length_t nrf_esb_get_crc_length ( void )

Returns: The current CRC length.

bool nrf_esb_set_xosc_ctl ( nrf_esb_xosc_ctl_t xosc_ctl )

When controlling the XOSC manually from the application it is required that the XOSC is started before ESB is enabled.

When start/stop of the XOSC is handled automatically by ESB, the XOSC will only be running when needed, that is when the radio is being used or when ESB needs to maintain synchronization.

It is required that the XOSC is started in order for the radio to be able to send or receive any packets.

Parameters

xosc_ctl setting for XOSC control.

Return values

true	if the parameter was set.
false	if Gazell was enabled or the xosc_ctl value was invalid.

void nrf_esb_enable_dyn_ack ( void )

The dynamic ACK feature must be enabled in order for the packet_type parameter in the nrf_esb_add_packet_to_tx_fifo() function to have any effect, or for the ACK bit of received packets to be evaluated.

When the dynamic ACK feature is disabled, all packets will be ACK'ed.

void nrf_esb_disable_dyn_ack ( void )

See Also: nrf_esb_enable_dyn_ack()

nrf_esb_xosc_ctl_t nrf_esb_get_xosc_ctl ( void )

Get function counterpart for nrf_esb_set_xosc_ctl();

Returns: The XOSC control setting.
