Detailed Description

Helper APIs to create heaps and pools and allocate/free buffers from those pools or heaps.

When a heap or a pool is created, this utility allocates required chunk of memory from the system and manages it for the creator.

Macro Definition Documentation

#define wiced_bt_get_buffer ( size ) wiced_bt_get_buffer_from_heap(WICED_DEFAULT_HEAP, (size))

Allocates a buffer from the DEFAULT heap .

Parameters

[in] size : size to be allocated

Returns: the pointer to the buffer or NULL on failure

#define WICED_DEFAULT_HEAP ((wiced_bt_heap_t *)NULL)

If an application wants to get a buffer from the default heap, he can use this.

#define wiced_memory_allocate ( size ) wiced_bt_get_buffer(size)

Function wiced_memory_allocate.

Allocates memory from Dynamic Memory pools

Parameters

[in] size :size of the memory to be allocated

Returns: pointer to the allocated memory on success NULL on failure

#define wiced_memory_free ( memoryBlock ) wiced_bt_free_buffer(memoryBlock)

Function wiced_memory_free.

Returns: None

Function Documentation

wiced_bt_heap_t* wiced_bt_create_heap	(	const char *	name,
		void *	p_area,
		int	size,
		wiced_bt_lock_t *	p_lock,
		wiced_bool_t	b_make_default
	)

Initializes dynamic memory area.

Application reserves an area for dynamic variable memory allocations with this call. Application can now allocate variable sized buffers as against fixed sized buffer allocations from the pools initialized with calls to wiced_bt_create_pool and allocated using wiced_bt_get_buffer_from_pool.

Parameters

[in]	name	: Friendly name of the heap
[in]	p_area	: Pointer to area to use for the heap. If NULL, AIROC will allocate the area.
[in]	size	: Size the area passed in. If no area passed in, this is the size of the heap desired.
[in]	p_lock	: Pointers to lock functions to use during heap manipulation. If NULL, then it is assumed that the application handles disabling of preemption.
[in]	b_make_default	Flag as to whether the heap will be the default heap.

Returns: wiced_bt_heap_t * - pointer to heap, or NULL if the heap creation failed.

wiced_bt_pool_t* wiced_bt_create_pool	(	const char *	name,

Creates a buffer pool for application usage.

Parameters
