Function Documentation

dwSensorGPS_popFrame()

DW_API_PUBLIC dwStatus dwSensorGPS_popFrame	(	dwGPSFrame *	frame,
		dwSensorHandle_t	sensor
	)

Returns any GPS frame previously processed through RAW data stream.

This happens on the CPU thread where the function is called, incurring an additional load on that thread.

Parameters

[out]	frame	Pointer to an GPS frame structure to be filled with new data.
[in]	sensor	Sensor handle of the sensor previously created with 'dwSAL_createSensor()'.

Returns

DW_INVALID_HANDLE - if given sensor handle is invalid.
DW_INVALID_ARGUMENTS - if given arguments are invalid.
DW_NOT_AVAILABLE - if no more data is available
DW_SUCCESS

dwSensorGPS_processRawData()

DW_API_PUBLIC dwStatus dwSensorGPS_processRawData	(	const uint8_t *	data,
		size_t	size,
		dwSensorHandle_t	sensor
	)

Decodes RAW data previously read.

Any processed messages can be picked up using the dwSensorGPS_popMessage() method. This happens on the CPU thread where the function is called, incurring on additional load on that thread.

Parameters

[in]	data	Undecoded gps data.
[in]	size	Size in bytes of the raw data.
[in]	sensor	Sensor handle of the sensor previously created with 'dwSAL_createSensor()'.

Returns

DW_INVALID_HANDLE - if given sensor handle is invalid,
DW_INVALID_ARGUMENTS - if given arguments are invalid,
DW_NOT_READY - if more data needs to be passed in (loop while it returns 'DW_NOT_READY').
DW_SUCCESS

dwSensorGPS_readFrame()

DW_API_PUBLIC dwStatus dwSensorGPS_readFrame	(	dwGPSFrame *	frame,
		dwTime_t	timeout_us,
		dwSensorHandle_t	sensor
	)

Reads the next GPS packet with a given timeout.

The method blocks until either a new valid frame is received from the sensor or the given timeout exceeds.

Parameters

[out]	frame	A pointer to a GPS frame structure to be filled with new localization data.
[in]	timeout_us	Specifies the timeout in us to wait for a new message. Special values: DW_TIMEOUT_INFINITE - to wait infinitly. Zero - means polling of internal queue.
[in]	sensor	Specifies the sensor handle of the GPS sensor previously created with 'dwSAL_createSensor()'.

Returns

DW_INVALID_HANDLE - if given sensor handle is invalid.
DW_INVALID_ARGUMENTS - if given arguments are invalid.
DW_TIME_OUT - if operation has timeout.
DW_NOT_AVAILABLE - if sensor has not been started or data is not available in polling mode.
DW_END_OF_STREAM - if end of stream reached (virtual sensor only).
DW_SAL_SENSOR_ERROR - if there was an i/o or bus error.
DW_SUCCESS
