The Radio APIs provide functions for accessing the radio.

Required Header

#include <radio.h>

Overview

The Radio API provides support for using the Radio. The API allows :

Starting and stopping the radio
Seeking radio frequency
Scanning radio signals
Getting the state of the radio

A radio handle (radio_h) is created by calling the radio_create() function and can be started by using the radio_start() function. It provides functions to start (radio_scan_start()) and stop (radio_scan_stop()) radio signal scanning. The radio frequency seek up and seek down can be done asynchronously by calling the radio_seek_up() and radio_seek_down() functions respectively. It also provides functions to get (radio_get_frequency()) and set (radio_set_frequency()) frequency for the given radio handle.

State Diagram

The radio API is controlled by a state machine. The following diagram shows the life cycle and the states of the Radio.

State Transitions

FUNCTION	PRE-STATE	POST-STATE	SYNC TYPE
radio_create()	NONE	READY	SYNC
radio_destroy()	READY	NONE	SYNC
radio_start()	READY	PLAYING	SYNC
radio_stop()	PLAYING	READY	SYNC
radio_scan_start()	READY or PLAYING	SCANNING	ASYNC
radio_scan_stop()	SCANNING	READY or PLAYING	ASYNC
radio_seek_up()	PLAYING	PLAYING	ASYNC
radio_seek_down()	PLAYING	PLAYING	ASYNC

This API also gives notifications for radio's state change events by a callback mechanism.

Callback(Event) Operations

The callback mechanism is used to notify the application about radio events.

REGISTER	UNREGISTER	CALLBACK	DESCRIPTION
radio_set_scan_completed_cb()	radio_unset_scan_completed_cb()	radio_scan_completed_cb()	This callback is invoked when the scan is completed
radio_set_interrupted_cb()	radio_unset_interrupted_cb()	radio_interrupted_cb()	This callback is used to notify when the radio is interrupted
