29.3.1 COEX Mode selection
This variable is used to select the Coex mode in which the module has to operate. The following are the possible
values:
• 1 - WLAN STATION /WIFI-Direct/WLAN PER
• 2 - WLAN ACCESS POINT (including multiple APs on different vaps)
• 3 - WLAN ACCESS POINT + STATION MODE (on multiple vaps)
• 8 - BT LE MODE /BT LE PER MODE
• 9 - WLAN STATION + BT LE MODE
• 12 - BT CLASSIC + BT LE MODE
Example:
COEX_MODE=3
The above line sets the module to operate in WLAN AP + STA concurrent mode.
29.3.2 LED ON/OFF
This variable is used to enable or disable the LED functionality for Wi-Fi activity. The following are the possible
values:
• 0 – Disable LED functionality
• 1 – Enable LED functionality
Example:
LED_FUNC_EN=1
The above line enables the LED functionality for Wi-Fi activity.
29.3.3 BT RF Type
This variable is used to select the BT RF TYPE which the module has to operate. The following are the possible
values:
0 - EXTERNAL RF
1 - INTERNAL RF
Example:
BT_RF_TYPE=1
The above sets bt rf type to Internal RF.
29.3.4 BLE_TX_PWR_INX
This variable is used to select the BLE_TX _PWR index value.The following are the possible values.
Default Value for BLE Tx Power Index is 30
Range for the BLE Tx LP Chain Power Index is 1 - 63 (0, 32 are invalid)
Range for the BLE Tx HP Power Index is 64 to 76
BLE_TX_PWR_INX=0x1e
29.3.5 BLE_PWR_SAVE_OPTIONS
BLE_PWR_SAVE_OPTIONS=2
This variable is used to select the BLE_PWR_SAVE_OPTIONS mode value.The following are the possible values.
BLE_DUTY_CYCLING BIT(0)
If antenna diversity selection feature is also enabled, initial operation will start on the antenna selected.
Antenna diversity operation will continue as expected.
