mpsl_timeslot_request()

int32_t mpsl_timeslot_request	(	mpsl_timeslot_session_id_t	session_id,
		mpsl_timeslot_request_t const *	p_request )

#include <mpsl/include/mpsl_timeslot.h>

Requests a timeslot.

Successful requests will result in mpsl_timeslot_signal_callback_t(MPSL_TIMESLOT_SIGNAL_START). Unsuccessful requests will result in a MPSL_TIMESLOT_SIGNAL_BLOCKED event.

Once the timeslot has started, the application is responsible for keeping track of timing within the timeslot and for ensuring that the application’s use of the peripherals does not last for longer than the granted timeslot length. The recommended practice is to set up a timer interrupt that expires before the timeslot expires, with enough time left for the timeslot to do any clean-up actions before the timeslot ends. Such a timer interrupt can also be used to request an extension of the timeslot, but there must still be enough time to clean up if the extension is not granted.

Note

The first request in a session must always be of type MPSL_TIMESLOT_REQ_TYPE_EARLIEST.

The jitter in the start time of the timeslots is +/- MPSL_TIMESLOT_START_JITTER_US us.

The mpsl_timeslot_signal_callback_t(MPSL_TIMESLOT_SIGNAL_START) call has a latency relative to the specified timeslot start, but this does not affect the actual start time of the timeslot.

TIMER0 is reset when MPSL_TIMESLOT_SIGNAL_START triggers. and is clocked at 1MHz from the high frequency (16 MHz) clock source. The scheduler uses the LFCLK source for time calculations when scheduling events. If the application uses a TIMER (sourced from the current HFCLK source) to calculate and signal the end of a timeslot, it must account for the possible clock drift between the HFCLK source and the LFCLK source.

No stack will neither access the RADIO peripheral nor the TIMER0 peripheral during the timeslot.

Parameters

[in]	session_id	The session identifier as returned by mpsl_timeslot_session_open.
[in]	p_request	Pointer to the request parameters.

Return values

0	Success
-NRF_EINVAL	The parameters of p_request are not valid
-NRF_ENOENT	The session is not open.
-NRF_EAGAIN	The session is not IDLE.
