RTOS/CC1310: Reset RF core

Andrea Sironi

Part Number: CC1310

Tool/software: TI-RTOS

Hi,

I'm introducing in my code some check about the execution of the operations and I'd like to verify the correct execution also of the EasyLink functions: when an EasyLink function returns error also after some retries, I would like to do something. I think that one solution could be restart the RF core.

Is it possibile to do that?

I read in the forum that one solution could be execute the RF_close function.

Is this correct? In this case, how can I execute this function by EasyLink interface? I see in the code that I should pass the rfHandle as parameter, but how can I get it from EasyLink?

Thanks in advance for your support, Andrea

Hi Andrea,

There are currently no EasyLink APIs that reset the RF core equivalent to RF_close(). The rfHandle resides in rfEasyLink.c and .h, but it is static and not recommended to try and use it outside of these files because that can get pretty messy.

Perhaps you can instead try and modify these files to account for your error handling.

Thanks,
Alexis

Thanks Alexis for you answer,

this means that is it not possible to execute the reset of the RF core? Isn't there another modality which can be used by EasyLink functions?

Hi Andrea,

Unfortunately this is one of the limitations with using EasyLink...however, there are a couple of things you can try.

1) try EasyLink_abort()
2) try making the rf handle extern instead of static, and use one of the direct commands (like CMD_ABORT)
3) create your own API in the EasyLink layer

Thanks,
Alexis

Hi Alexis,

I think the best solution is implemnting a new API in the EasyLink file to execute the RF_close. In this way I don't change anything of the exiesting code.

Thanks again, Andrea
