Function otPlatRadioSetAlternateShortAddress

Source 
pub unsafe extern "C" fn otPlatRadioSetAlternateShortAddress(
    aInstance: *mut otInstance,
    aShortAddress: otShortAddress,
)
Expand description

Set the alternate short address.

This is an optional radio platform API. The radio platform MUST indicate support for this API by including the capability OT_RADIO_CAPS_ALT_SHORT_ADDR in otPlatRadioGetCaps().

When supported, the radio should accept received frames destined to the specified alternate short address in addition to the short address provided in otPlatRadioSetShortAddress().

The @p aShortAddress can be set to OT_RADIO_INVALID_SHORT_ADDR (0xfffe) to clear any previously set alternate short address.

This function is used by OpenThread stack during child-to-router role transitions, allowing the device to continue receiving frames addressed to its previous short address for a short period.

@param[in] aInstance The OpenThread instance structure. @param[in] aShortAddress The alternate IEEE 802.15.4 short address. OT_RADIO_INVALID_SHORT_ADDR to clear.
