pstorage guide

[kk]

HI,everyone!

I want to use pstorage to store some data, so I followed the steps given by devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../, but it didn't work. Then I checked ecah function and found out the

pstorage_register (&p_example_param, &m_p_example_id)

return NRF_ERROR_NULL,and I can't find out where the problems come from.

Can someone point out the problem or give me an example for pstorage use?

Thank you very much!

Are you using device manager along with your test psorage? You shouldn't initialize pstorage_init twice if you call example_pstorage_init after device manager init. Or you need to increase maximum number of applications PSTORAGE_MAX_APPLICATIONS in pstorage_platform.h.

UPD:

You can read more about pstorage here.

There is a pstorage example code here

Example handler:

// Event Notification Handler.
static void example_cb_handler(pstorage_handle_t  * handle,
                                uint8_t              op_code,
                                uint32_t             result,
                                uint8_t            * p_data,
                                uint32_t             data_len)
{
    switch(op_code)
    {
        case PSTORAGE_LOAD_OP_CODE:
           if (result == NRF_SUCCESS)
           {
               // Store operation successful.
           }
           else
           {
               // Store operation failed.
           }
           // Source memory can now be reused or freed.
           break;       
        case PSTORAGE_UPDATE_OP_CODE:
           if (result == NRF_SUCCESS)
           {
               // Update operation successful.
           }
           else
           {
               // Update operation failed.
           }
           break;
       case PSTORAGE_CLEAR_OP_CODE:
           if (result == NRF_SUCCESS)
           {
               // Clear operation successful.
           }
           else
           {
               // Clear operation failed.
           }
           break;
    }
}

to instantiate a callback handler one would create a function that mtaches the type required. Specifically:

static void example_cb_handler( pstorage_handle_t *p_handle, uint8_t op_code, uint32_t result, uint8_t p_data, uint32_t dat_len ) { / do something */ }

"example_cb_handler", then, is a pointer to the function itself, which can then be assigned in a statement

example_param.cb = example_cb_handler;

Please look to generic c-coding guides for typedef creations of function pointers. Function pointers are extremely useful tools, and can be used to greatly simplify otherwise very complex code.
