Buffer allocation failure on aws_iot_connect

[Dilawar Ali]

Board: nRF7002DK

I extended the WiFi proviosing example of nRF7002 and added the aws part from aws_iot example. WiFi connection and IP allocation along with DNS resolution all working fine.
But during the TLS handshake there is buffer allocation failure resulting in TLS handshake failure. I am not able to find the exact root cause for this failure. 
Can anyone help me out to find what need to be fixed?


Following are the error codes I am facing
00> [00:00:16.697,143] <dbg> aws_iot: broker_init: IPv4 Address found 52.57.145.200

Hi

The data buffer allocation errors are likely because your NET packet buffers are set up too low, and you should try to increase these. Can you try setting up the network settings optimized for performance as shown here: https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-nrf/blob/v2.3.0-rc1/samples/wifi/shell/overlay-zperf.conf#L3-L8 

Try that and see if the error message changes at all on your end please.

Best regards,

Simon

Setting the values as in shell example cause the RAM to overflow.
I had to update the configs as below to resolve the overflow.  But still I am facing the issue shown below.

CONFIG_NET_PKT_RX_COUNT=32

CONFIG_NET_PKT_TX_COUNT=40

CONFIG_NET_BUF_RX_COUNT=32

CONFIG_NET_BUF_TX_COUNT=73

CONFIG_NET_BUF_DATA_SIZE=1100

CONFIG_HEAP_MEM_POOL_SIZE=140000
