I am going to add this comment:
The device need data about the antenna configuration. This information in
provided by PDS (Platform Data Set, this is the wording used in WF200
documentation) files. For hardware integrators, the full process to create
PDS files is described here:
https://github.com/SiliconLabs/wfx-firmware/blob/master/PDS/README.md
So this function aims to send PDS to the device. However, the PDS file is
often bigger than Rx buffers of the chip, so it has to be sent in multiple
parts.
In add, the PDS data cannot be split anywhere. The PDS files contains tree
structures. Braces are used to enter/leave a level of the tree (in a JSON
fashion). PDS files can only been split between root nodes.
