Typedefs

otChangedFlags

uint32_t otChangedFlags

This type represents a bit-field indicating specific state/configuration that has changed.

See OT_CHANGED_* definitions.

otInstance

struct otInstance otInstance

This structure represents the OpenThread instance structure.

otStateChangedCallback

void(* otStateChangedCallback)(otChangedFlags aFlags, void *aContext)

This function pointer is called to notify certain configuration or state changes within OpenThread.

Details

Parameters

`[in] aFlags`	A bit-field indicating specific state that has changed. See `OT_CHANGED_*` definitions.
`[in] aContext`	A pointer to application-specific context.

Functions

otGetRadioVersionString

const char * otGetRadioVersionString(
  otInstance *aInstance
)

This function gets the OpenThread radio version string.

Details

Parameters

[in] aInstance

A pointer to an OpenThread instance.

Returns

A pointer to the OpenThread radio version.

otGetVersionString

const char * otGetVersionString(
  void
)

This function gets the OpenThread version string.

Details
Returns	A pointer to the OpenThread version.

otInstanceErasePersistentInfo

otError otInstanceErasePersistentInfo(
  otInstance *aInstance
)

This function erases all the OpenThread persistent info (network settings) stored on non-volatile memory.

Erase is successful only if the device is in disabled state/role.

Details

Parameters

[in] aInstance

A pointer to an OpenThread instance.

Return Values

`OT_ERROR_NONE`	All persistent info/state was erased successfully.
`OT_ERROR_INVALID_STATE`	Device is not in `disabled` state/role.

otInstanceFactoryReset

void otInstanceFactoryReset(
  otInstance *aInstance
)

This method deletes all the settings stored on non-volatile memory, and then triggers platform reset.

Details

Parameters

[in] aInstance

A pointer to an OpenThread instance.

otInstanceFinalize

void otInstanceFinalize(
  otInstance *aInstance
)

This function disables the OpenThread library.

Call this function when OpenThread is no longer in use.

Details

Parameters

[in] aInstance

A pointer to an OpenThread instance.

otInstanceInit

otInstance * otInstanceInit(
  void *aInstanceBuffer,
  size_t *aInstanceBufferSize
)

This function initializes the OpenThread library.

This function initializes OpenThread and prepares it for subsequent OpenThread API calls. This function must be called before any other calls to OpenThread.

This function is available and can only be used when support for multiple OpenThread instances is enabled.

Details

Parameters

`[in] aInstanceBuffer`	The buffer for OpenThread to use for allocating the otInstance structure.
`[in,out] aInstanceBufferSize`	On input, the size of aInstanceBuffer. On output, if not enough space for otInstance, the number of bytes required for otInstance.

Returns

A pointer to the new OpenThread instance.

See also:
otInstanceFinalize

otInstanceInitSingle

otInstance * otInstanceInitSingle(
  void
)

This function initializes the static single instance of the OpenThread library.

This function initializes OpenThread and prepares it for subsequent OpenThread API calls. This function must be called before any other calls to OpenThread.

This function is available and can only be used when support for multiple OpenThread instances is disabled.

Details
Returns	A pointer to the single OpenThread instance.

otInstanceIsInitialized

bool otInstanceIsInitialized(
  otInstance *aInstance
)

This function indicates whether or not the instance is valid/initialized.

The instance is considered valid if it is acquired and initialized using either otInstanceInitSingle() (in single instance case) or otInstanceInit() (in multi instance case). A subsequent call to otInstanceFinalize() causes the instance to be considered as uninitialized.

Details

Parameters

[in] aInstance

A pointer to an OpenThread instance.

Returns

TRUE if the given instance is valid/initialized, FALSE otherwise.

otInstanceReset

void otInstanceReset(
  otInstance *aInstance
)

This method triggers a platform reset.

The reset process ensures that all the OpenThread state/info (stored in volatile memory) is erased. Note that the otPlatformReset does not erase any persistent state/info saved in non-volatile memory.

Details

Parameters

[in] aInstance

A pointer to an OpenThread instance.

otRemoveStateChangeCallback

void otRemoveStateChangeCallback(
  otInstance *aInstance,
  otStateChangedCallback aCallback,
  void *aContext
)

This function removes a callback to indicate when certain configuration or state changes within OpenThread.

Details

Parameters

`[in] aInstance`	A pointer to an OpenThread instance.
`[in] aCallback`	A pointer to a function that is called with certain configuration or state changes.
`[in] aContext`	A pointer to application-specific context.

otSetStateChangedCallback

otError otSetStateChangedCallback(
  otInstance *aInstance,
  otStateChangedCallback aCallback,
  void *aContext
)

This function registers a callback to indicate when certain configuration or state changes within OpenThread.

Details

Parameters

`[in] aInstance`	A pointer to an OpenThread instance.
`[in] aCallback`	A pointer to a function that is called with certain configuration or state changes.
`[in] aContext`	A pointer to application-specific context.

Return Values

`OT_ERROR_NONE`	Added the callback to the list of callbacks.
`OT_ERROR_ALREADY`	The callback was already registered.
`OT_ERROR_NO_BUFS`	Could not add the callback due to resource constraints.
