3.3.4 Lock State

The device can enter a lock state due to one of the following conditions:

  • The restore to factory defaults is currently in process. The device unlocks when the process is finished.
  • The device INIT failed and an inaccurate error is sent with the INIT-complete error asynchronous event. The device INIT-complete may fail due to calibration failure or integrity failure of the file-system data structure.
  • The security alerts threshold was exceeded. The SimpleLink Wi-Fi device provides a software tampering detection mechanism with a security-alert counter. This procedure detects integrity violation of the following: file-system data, secure-authentication files, or system files. When the device reaches the security alerts threshold (three by default or predefined with Image Creator), it locks.
  • A critical security alert occurs.

In the lock state only a few commands are allowed. The list of the enabled commands follows:

  • Program a new image
  • Restore to factory defaults
  • Get current version
  • Get storage information (retrieves the number of security alerts and the storage properties)

Any other API issued in locked state returns one of the following error codes:

SL_RET_CODE_DEV_LOCKED (-2011L) //Device was found locked during its init, commands are blocked by the driver

SL_ERROR_NOT_ALLOWED_NWP_LOCKED (-14343L) //Device is currently locked

Recovery from the lock state depends on the reason for the lock. If the lock is due to processing the restore to factory function, then the device automatically unlocks when finished. In all other cases, to recover from the lock state the device can be programed or restored to factory image.
