#define wiced_memory_permanent_allocate

(

a

)

dynamic_memory_AllocatePermanent(a, WICED_FALSE)

Allocates memory for permanent usage.

Parameters

size	The size of the memory to be allocated

Returns

The pointer to the allocated memory on success NULL on failure

Function Documentation

wiced_bt_buffer_pool_t* wiced_bt_create_pool	(	uint32_t	buffer_size,
		uint32_t	buffer_cnt
	)

Function wiced_bt_create_pool.

Creates a private pool dedicated for the application usage.

Parameters

[in]	buffer_size	:size of the buffers in the pool
[in]	buffer_cnt	:number of buffers in the pool

Returns

pointer to the created pool on success NULL on failure

void wiced_bt_free_buffer

(

void *

p_buf

)

Function wiced_bt_free_buffer.

Frees the buffer

Parameters

[in]

p_buf

: pointer to the start of the buffer to be freed

Returns

void* wiced_bt_get_buffer

(

uint16_t

buffer_size

)

Function wiced_bt_get_buffer.

Allocates a buffer from the public pools. Public pools shall be specified using wiced_bt_cfg_buf_pool_t from the application.

Parameters

To get the number of buffers available in the pool

Parameters

[in]

p_pool

: pool pointer

Returns

the number of buffers available in the pool

void* wiced_bt_get_buffer_from_pool

(

wiced_bt_buffer_pool_t *

p_pool

)

Function wiced_bt_get_buffer_from_pool.

Allocates a buffer from the private pool. Pass the pool pointer to get the buffer from the desired pool

Parameters

[in]

p_pool

: pool pointer

Returns

the pointer to the buffer NULL on failure

uint32_t wiced_bt_get_buffer_size

(

void *

p_buf

)

Function wiced_bt_get_buffer_size.

Gets the buffer size

Parameters

[in]

p_buf

: pointer to the start of the buffer

Returns

the buffer size

		uint16_t	size
	)

Function wiced_bt_get_buffer_usage.

Dumps dynamic buffer usage (see wiced_bt_buffer_statistics_t),from the last start of the system.

Parameters

[in]	p_buffer_stat	- pointer buffer to fill statistics.
[in]	size	- size of the memory to get the statistics.

Returns

WICED_BT_SUCCESS on success else error
