WiConnect Variables

This page provides a list of WiConnect variables with a full description of the function of each variable together with example usage.

Variables are cached in volatile RAM and must be saved to non-volatile flash memory to persist between reboots. To save variables to flash, use the save command. Some variables impact the operation of the entire system, wake and sleep timers for example. A save and reboot is required before new settings for these types of variables take effect.

Shortcuts

A shortcut is assigned to each variable. The format for shortcuts is shown in the following table. The shortcut is a hybrid of the first two characters of the first word of the variable name, plus (typically) the first character of the second word (if a second word exists), plus (typically) the first character of the third word of the variable name (if a third word exists). Each of these characters is separated by a space character. In some instances, it was not possible to use the first letter of the second or third word in the variable name, in these cases another letter has been somewhat arbitrarily chosen.

Documentation Format

Many WiConnect responses shown in the examples on this page were captured with system.print_level = 0, and system.cmd.header_enabled = 1. These machine friendly settings make it easy for a host MCU to parse responses by examining response headers. Documentation for each variable is provided in the format shown below.

variable

Arguments

<count> where <count> can range from minimum value to maximum value:

• minimum value: MAX(16, len(bus.stream.cmd_seq)*2)
  i.e. the minimum value is the maximum of 16 and 2 x the length of the bus.stream.cmd_seq variable
  For example, if bus.stream.cmd_seq is the default $$$, its length is 3, so minimum value is the maximum of 16 and 2*3 = 16.

R000004
20

Set example

> set bu s t 10
R000008
Set OK

bus.stream.flush_time_reset

Description

Flag whether to reset the flush timer if data is received before the flush timeout expires. When this variable is set and data is streaming, data is flushed only when the buffer is full. This allows for efficient use of the packet buffer and prevents packet fragmentation. When the variable is reset, the buffer is flushed at intervals of bus.stream.flush_time and also when the buffer is full. This allows data to be sent at consistent intervals.

Arguments

<1/0>

Default

0

Get example

> get bus.stream.flush_time_reset
0

Set example

> set bus.stream.flush_time_reset 1
Set OK

network.buffer.size

Description

The total size of the network buffers, in bytes.
This is important for applications that have asymmetric data throughput requirements. If your app is heavily Tx (or Rx) centric, you can adjust the Tx and Rx buffer sizes accordingly to achieve maximum throughput.\ This buffer is divided between the rx/tx buffers based on the network.buffer.rxtx_ratio variable.
This value is the amount of memory allocated from the dynamic memory section. The larger this value, the less memory available for other features.
This is an advanced feature. Care should be given when adjusting this value. The system may become unstable with certain values in certain applications.
Value limits (KB = 1024 bytes):
Wallaby : Min: 10KB = 10240 Max: 70KB = 71680
Numbat: Min: 10KB = 10240 Max: 40KB = 40960

system.oob.gpio

Description

The system.oob variables allow creation of an out-of-band interrupt (OOB) GPIO. This GPIO is asserted whenever one or more of the configured events occurs. It is de-asserted when reading the status register.

Note: The OOB GPIO feature can be used by itself. The corresponding special function GPIO does not need to be enabled. i.e. The network.status OOB event can be triggered without setting the network.status_gpio variable.

Specify the GPIO with the system.oob.gpio variable.

Specify the active level of the OOB GPIO with system.oob.gpio_level.

Specify the events that cause the GPIO to be asserted with system.oob.event_mask.

Specify events that trigger the GPIO only on the rising edge (i.e. when the event is asserted) with system.oob.rising_edge_mask.

Read the events that triggered an OOB interrupt from the system.oob.status variable.

Only one GPIO can be specified as the OOB GPIO. Determine the OOB GPIO by reading the gpio.usage variable or the system.oob.gpio variable.

Events are mapped to the event mask, rising edge mask and status mask as shown in the following table:

Arguments

<GPIO #> The number of the OOB GPIO.

Default

No GPIO assigned to OOB

Get example

> get sy o g
22

Set example

Default

1

Get example

> get sy o l
1

Set example

> set sy o l 0
Set OK

system.oob.rising_edge_mask

Description

The mask of events which should trigger the OOB GPIO only on the rising edge (i.e. when an event is asserted). See system.oob.gpio.

If the mask is cleared, then the OOB GPIO is asserted on both rising and falling edges.

For instance, when the module connects, the network status event event is considered asserted. When the module disconnects, the event is considered de-asserted.

For event/mask mapping, see the system.oob.gpio event mask table.

Arguments

<hex mask> Mask is specified in the form 0xHH where H is a hexadecimal digit 0-F.

Default

0x0

Get example

> get sy o r
0x1F

Set example

> set sy o r 0x11
Set OK

system.oob.status

Description

The mask of triggered events. When an event is triggered, the OOB GPIO is asserted and the status mask is updated with the triggering event. Reading this variable returns a mask of events that caused the OOB gpio to be asserted.

Reading this variable de-asserts the OOB GPIO and clears the status mask.

For event/mask mapping, see the system.oob.gpio event mask table.

Arguments

-

Default

0x0

Get example

get sy o e
0x0
