Calibration failure:
When the device fails to calibrate, the device INIT complete fails and the INIT complete async event has
the error: SL_ERROR_CALIB_FAIL.
•
For a calibration error of Normal or Triggered calibration, power/hibernate cycle invokes recalibration.
•
For One-Time calibration mode, the calibration is made once on the first power/hibernate cycle after
the device programming; the user should verify that on the first power/hibernate cycle of the network
subsystem, the INIT-complete succeeded. During a calibration failure the device should be
reprogrammed.
describes the differences between these modes.
