1.5.3Troubleshooting Device Drivers Error

Driver functions will return a status code when they are called to perform a certain task for the application. When a function returns a code that is not zero, it means the function has failed to perform its designated func- tion. To troubleshoot the Device Drivers error, you can pass the error code to DRV_GetErrorMessage function to return the error message. Alternatively, you can refer to the Device Drivers Error Codes Appendix in the Device Drivers Manual for a detailed listing of Error Codes, Error IDs and the Error Messages.
