See Also: tenuPowerSaveModes , m2m_wifi_set_sleep_mode

Returns: The current operating power saving mode. The value will be one of those from the enumerated type tenuPowerSaveModes.

See Also: tenuPowerSaveModes m2m_wifi_set_sleep_mode

NMI_API sint8 m2m_wifi_request_sleep ( uint32 u32SlpReqTime )

Asynchronous API to place the WINC into sleep mode for a specified period of time.

API to place the WINC IC into sleep mode for a specified period of time.

Power-save sleep request function, which requests the WINC device to sleep in the currently configured
power save mode, as set using @ref m2m_wifi_set_sleep_mode, for a specific time as defined by the parameter
u32SlpReqTime (measured in milliseconds).
This function should be used when the WINC is running in @ref M2M_PS_MANUAL power save mode only.
A wake up request is automatically performed by the WINC device when any host driver API function, e.g. Wi-Fi or socket operation is called.

Parameters

[in] u32SlpReqTime Request sleep time in ms.
The best recommended sleep duration is left to be determined by the application. Taking into account that if the application sends notifications very rarely, sleeping for a long time can be a power-efficient decision. In contrast, applications that are sensitive for long periods of absence can experience performance degradation in the connection if long sleeping times are used.

Returns: The function returns M2M_SUCCESS for successful operation and a negative value otherwise.

Warning

This API is currently unsupported on the WINC3400

See Also: tenuPowerSaveModes m2m_wifi_set_sleep_mode

Synchronous power-save sleep request function, which requests the WINC device to sleep in the currently configured
power save mode, as set using @ref m2m_wifi_set_sleep_mode, for a specific time as defined by the passed in parameter.
This function should be used in the @ref M2M_PS_MANUAL power save mode only.
A wake up request is automatically performed by the WINC device when any host driver API function, e.g. Wi-Fi or socket operation is called.

Parameters

[in] u32SlpReqTime Request sleep time in ms.
The best recommended sleep duration is left to be determined by the application. Taking into account that if the application sends notifications very rarely, sleeping for a long time can be a power-efficient decision. In contrast, applications that are sensitive for long periods of absence can experience performance degradation in the connection if long sleeping times are used.

Returns: The function returns M2M_SUCCESS for successful operation and a negative value otherwise.

Warning: The function should be called in M2M_PS_MANUAL power save mode only. As enumerated in tenuPowerSaveModes. It's also important to note that during the sleeping time while in the M2M_PS_MANUAL mode, AP beacon monitoring is bypassed and the wifi-connection may drop if the sleep period is elongated.

[in] pstrM2mLsnInt Structure holding the listen interval configurations.

Returns: The function SHALL return 0 for success and a negative value otherwise.

See Also: tstrM2mLsnInt , m2m_wifi_set_sleep_mode

Precondition: m2m_wifi_set_sleep_mode shall be called first

Warning: The Function called once after initialization.

This is one of the two synchronous power-save setting functions that
allow the host MCU application to tweak the system power consumption. Such tweaking can be done by modifying the
Wi-Fi listen interval. The listen interval is how many beacon periods the station can sleep before it wakes up to receive data buffered in the AP.
It is represented in units of AP beacon periods(100ms).

Warning: The function should be called once after initialization.

Parameters

[in] pstrM2mLsnInt Structure holding the listen interval configuration.

Precondition: The function m2m_wifi_set_sleep_mode shall be called first, to set the power saving mode required.

Returns: The function returns M2M_SUCCESS if the command has been successfully queued to the WINC and a negative value otherwise.

NMI_API sint8 m2m_wifi_set_sleep_mode	(	uint8	PsTyp,
		uint8	BcastEn
	)

Set the power saving mode for the WINC3400.

Synchronous API to set the power-save mode of the WINC IC.

Set the power saving mode for the WINC1500.

Synchronous API to set the power-save mode of the WINC.

Parameters

[in]	PsTyp	Desired power saving mode. Supported types are defined in tenuPowerSaveModes.
[in]	BcastEn	Broadcast reception enable flag. If it is 1, the WINC3400 must be awake each DTIM Beacon for receiving Broadcast traffic. If it is 0, the WINC3400 will not wakeup at the DTIM Beacon, but its wakeup depends only on the the configured Listen Interval.

Returns: The function SHALL return 0 for success and a negative value otherwise.

See Also: tenuPowerSaveModes

Warning: The function called once after initialization.

This is one of the two synchronous power-save setting functions that allow the host MCU application
to tweak the system power consumption. Such tweaking can be done through one of two ways:
- 1) Changing the power save mode, to one of the allowed power save modes (see @ref tenuPowerSaveModes). This is done by setting the first parameter.
- 2) Configuring DTIM monitoring: Configuring beacon monitoring parameters by enabling or disabling the reception of broadcast/multicast data.
     This is done by setting the second parameter.

Parameters

[in]	PsTyp	Desired power saving mode. Supported types are enumerated in tenuPowerSaveModes.
[in]	BcastEn	Broadcast reception enable flag. If set to 1, the WINC will wake for each DTIM beacon to ensure broadcast traffic can be received. If set to 0, the WINC will not wakeup at the DTIM beacon, ignoring broadcast traffic, instead it will wake every N beacon periods, as per the negotiated Listen Interval.

Warning: The function called once after initialization.

Returns: The function returns M2M_SUCCESS for successful operation and a negative value otherwise.

See Also: tenuPowerSaveModes m2m_wifi_get_sleep_mode m2m_wifi_set_lsn_int

Parameters

[in]	PsTyp	Desired power saving mode. Supported types are defined in tenuPowerSaveModes.
[in]	BcastEn	Broadcast reception enable flag. If it is 1, the WINC1500 must be awake each DTIM Beacon for receiving Broadcast traffic. If it is 0, the WINC1500 will not wakeup at the DTIM Beacon, but its wakeup depends only on the the configured Listen Interval.

Returns: The function SHALL return 0 for success and a negative value otherwise.

If it is 0, the WINC will ignore broadcast traffic. Through this flag the WINC will not wakeup at the DTIM beacon, but instead it will wakeup only based on the configured Listen Interval.

Warning: The function called once after initialization.

Returns: The function returns M2M_SUCCESS for successful operation and a negative value otherwise.
