Return value: 0 after the screen is cleared. 2. i32 cursorLcm( bool mode ) Description: According to the argument ‘mode’, show the cursor on the LCM screen or eliminate the cursor on the LCM screen.
AR-B5800A User Manual the text is not altered. mode = true, show the text. mode = false, eliminate the text. Return value: 0 after the text has been shown or eliminated. 5. i32 getKeyLcm( void ) Description: Scan the LCM and return the identification of the pressed direction key. Return value: ‘UP’ if the ‘up’ direction key is pressed. ‘RIGHT’ if the ‘right’ direction key is pressed. ‘LEFT’ if the ‘left’ direction key is pressed. ‘DOWN’ if the ‘down’ direction key is pressed.
AR-B5800A User Manual GPIO and Watchdog GPIO 1. Syntax: i32 setChDir( u8 val ) Description: Set the direction (Input/Output) of GPIO ports according to the parameter ‘val’. Parameters: The parameter ‘val’ is an unsigned character. Each bit of *val corresponds to a GPIO port. Bit 0 corresponds to GPIO0. Bit 1 corresponds to GPIO1. Bit 2 corresponds to GPIO2, and so on. Setting a bit of ‘val’ as 0 configures the corresponding port as Output.
AR-B5800A User Manual a GPIO port is configured as an Input port, the corresponding bit at *val is always ‘1’. Return Value: If the function gets the values successfully, it returns 0. If any error, it returns –1. 4. Syntax: i32 setChLevel( u8 val ) Description: Set the status bits of GPIO Output ports according to the variable ‘val’. The status bits at the ports which are configured as input will not be affected. Parameters: The parameter ‘val’ is an unsigned character.
AR-B5800A User Manual LAN Bypass Subsystem 1. void enableWdt(void) Enable Watchdog Timer. (This timer is different from the System Watchdog timer, which is configured by the API described in 6.2). 2. void disableWdt(void) Disable Watchdog Timer. 3. void reloadWdt(void) Reload Watchdog Timer. 4. void forceNormal(void) Force the port to become normal state. 5. void forceBypass(void) Force the port to become bypass state. 6. void setWdt4(void) Set the watchdog timer to 4 seconds. 7.
