AT86RF230
RX_AACK:
The state RX_AACK_ON is entered by writing the command RX_AACK_ON to the
register bits TRX_CMD in register 0x02 (TRX_STATE). The state change shall be
confirmed by reading register 0x01 (TRX_STATUS) that changes to RX_AACK_ON or
BUSY_RX_AACK on success.
TX_ARET:
Similarly, TX_ARET_ON state is activated by setting register bits TRX_CMD (register
0x02) to TX_ARET_ON. The radio transceiver is in the TX_ARET_ON state after
TRX_STATUS (register 0x01) has changed to TX_ARET_ON.
Notes:
1. It is not recommended to use the FORCE_TRX_OFF command while being in state
2. After state transition from state RX_AACK_ON to state PLL_ON, start of frame
The use of the Extended Operating Mode is based on Basic Operating Mode
functionality. Only features beyond the basic radio transceiver functionality are
described in the following sections. For details to the Basic Operating Mode refer to
section 7.1.
When using the RX_AACK or TX_ARET modes, the following registers needs to be
configured.
RX_AACK:
• Setup registers 0x20 – 0x2B for PAN-ID and IEEE addresses
• Set register bit AACK_SET_PD (register 0x2E)
• Configure register bit I_AM_COORD (register 0x2E)
TX_ARET:
• Configure CSMA-CA
• Configure CCA (see section 8.7)
The MIN_BE register bits (register 0x2E) sets the minimum back-off exponent (refer to
IEEE 802.15.4-2003 section 7.5.1.3), and the CSMA_SEED_0 and CSMA_SEED_1
register bits (registers 0x2D, 0x2E) define a random seed for the back-off-time random-
number generator in the AT86RF230. The register bits MAX_CSMA_RETRIES (register
0x2C) configures how often the radio transceiver retries the CSMA-CA algorithm after a
busy channel is detected. MAX_FRAME_RETRIES (register 0x2C) defines the
maximum number of frame retransmissions.
BUSY_TX_ARET without appending a SLEEP cycle by activating SLP_TR for at
least 2 µs.
transmission shall be confirmed by reading register 0x01 (TRX_STATUS). If register
bits TRX_STATUS do not return BUSY_TX during frame transmission, the frame
transmission needs to be initiated again. If the frame has been downloaded before
initiating the frame transmission, it has to be downloaded again.
