12.4.6 Link Quality Indication

The link quality indication parameter enables or disables the indication of quality of the link to the external host MCU. If enabled, the IS187x device sets a GPIO pin to a logic ‘0’ or a logic ‘1’, to indicate link quality. For more details, refer to General Purpose I/O (GPIO) Configuration. The IS187x device sets the logic level of the pin after comparing an internal Receive Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) measurement to two user-programmable threshold values. For more details, refer to Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) Threshold.
Note: Use this parameter with Auto Operation mode. For more details, refer to the BM70/71 Bluetooth® Low Energy Module User’s Guide (DS50002542).
