Hello,

I see that you are currently looking at the radio_test application.

IF you look in the file radio_cmd.c, you can see a bunch of calls to NRF_CLI_CMD_REGISTER(), such as:

NRF_CLI_CMD_REGISTER(data_rate, &m_sub_data_rate, "Set data rate <sub_cmd>", cmd_data_rate_set);

In this call:

data_rate is the name of the command (the one you see in blue).
m_sub_data_rate is where the second parameter is stored.
"Set data rate" is what appears if you write "data_rate --help".
cmd_data_rate_set is the callback function.

Since this command takes two variables, there is a sub command. This is linked to the data_rate_command by the function:

NRF_CLI_CREATE_STATIC_SUBCMD_SET(m_sub_data_rate)

which basically registers the different options. Let us look at one of them:

NRF_CLI_CMD(nrf_1Mbit, NULL, "1 Mbit/s Nordic proprietary radio mode", cmd_nrf_1mbit),

nRF_1Mbit is the command that is entered (which will be shown in blue when you tab).
NULL is a pointer to the next subcommand (which doesn't exist in this case).
"1 Mbit/s Nordic proprietary radio mode" is the help text.
cmd_nrf_1mbit is the callback function that is called when the main and this sub command is called together.

So if you set up your radio_config similar to this, you will have a new set of commands with callbacks that you can use.

Best regards,

Edvin
