4.1.3 bmm_buffer_free Function

void bmm_buffer_free(buffer_t *pbuffer)

Frees up a buffer

This function frees up a buffer. The pointer passed to this function should be the pointer returned during buffer allocation. The result is unpredictable if an incorrect pointer is passed.

bmm_buffer_init should have been called before using this function

None

buffer_t *buffer;
buffer = bmm_buffer_alloc(LARGE_BUFFER_SIZE);

if (buffer != NULL)
{
    //Use the buffer
}

//Buffer Freeing
bmm_buffer_free(buffer);

This routine is used by the PHY Layer for allocating the buffer for reception. Number of Buffers should be defined as per application needs before the buffer allocation function. If application allocates the buffer and not freeing them, Trx may not able to continuously receive the packet. So care should be taken when defining the Number of Buffers.
