INTENA

 

 

The INTENA command will enable interrupts from the module.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For this command, the PARM1 field will define the interrupts to

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

be enabled.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The definition of the PARM1 field is as follows:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

B7

Interrupt Sense – Determines the asserted state of

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the interrupt pin. If this bit is set, the interrupt pin

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

will be active high, otherwise the interrupt pin will be

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

active low.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

B1

TX Interrupt – If this bit is set, the interrupt pin will

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

be asserted when there is space available in the Tx

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

buffer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

B0

RX Interrupt – If this bit is set, the interrupt pin will

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

be asserted when there is Rx data available.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

0x20

 

INTDIS

 

 

The INTDIS command will disable interrupts from the module.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For this command, the PARM1 field will define the interrupts to

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

be disabled.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The definition of the PARM1 field is as follows:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

B1

TX Interrupt – If this bit is set, The Tx interrupt

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

function will be disabled.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

B0

RX Interrupt – If this bit is set, the Rx interrupt

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

function will be disabled.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

0x40

 

TXDATA

 

 

The TXDATA command is used to send data to the module to

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

be transmitted on the wireless link.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The host may send at most the number of bytes indicated by the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tx Buffer Available field in the Rx Message Header. The actual

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

length sent by the host is determined by the 16 bit value in

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PARM2. The value in PARM2 is little-endian (LSB first) and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

must be less than or equal to the number in the Tx Buffer

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Available field. Any bytes sent in excess of this number will be

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ignored.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

0x80

 

RXDATA

 

 

The RXDATA command is used to receive data from the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

module that has been received on the wireless link.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The host may receive at most the number of bytes indicated by

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the Rx Data Available field in the Rx Message Header. The

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

actual number of bytes received by the host is determined by

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the 16 bit value in PARM2. The value in PARM2 is little-endian

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(LSB first) and must be less than or equal to the number in the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rx Data Available field. If additional clock cycles are sent to the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

module beyond this number, meaningless data will be returned.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The TXDATA and RXDATA commands can be combined for full-duplex operation. For example, a command byte of 0xC0 would be a TXDATA and RXDATA command combined. The result of this command would be that the module would accept data being shifted in as Tx data, while at the same time, Rx data would be shifted out. In this case, the number of bytes transferred for TXDATA must be equal to the number of bytes transferred for RXDATA. The PARM2 parameter will indicate the number of bytes to be transferred for both the TXDATA and RXDATA commands.
