RE: Should I release RX buffer after NRF_LIBUARTE_ASYNC_EVT_ERROR

Hi,

[quote user=""]My question is: do I need to call nrf_libuarte_async_rx_free(p_libuarte, p_evt->data.rxtx.p_data, p_evt->data.rxtx.length); and free up the rx buffer in my NRF_LIBUARTE_ASYNC_EVT_ERROR error handling routine? Will this cause a memory leak if I don't free up the rx buffer?[/quote]

Yes it will, you should free up the buffer even in the case where the transaction fails so that the module can reuse the same rx buffer for the next transaction.

regards
