How do I achieve maximum data length?

[Andrew Ong]

Is achieving a data length of 251 possible in SDK 14.0.0, SoftDevicve S132 5.0.0 ? I tried updating my GATT table to 6000 bytes and my NRF_SDH_BLE_GATT_MAX_MTU_SIZE to 251, but I get the following errors: 

<debug> ble_gatt: Requesting to update ATT MTU to 251 bytes on connection 0x0.

In the request of sd_ble_gap_data_length_update it seems that something is wrong with the parameters as 0x7 is NRF_ERROR_INVALID_PARAM. Also 

 

<error> ble_gatt: sd_ble_gap_data_length_update() (reply) returned unexpected value 0x13.

This is explained in the documentation of the API

* @retval ::NRF_ERROR_RESOURCES The connection event length configured for this link is not sufficient for the requested parameters.Use @ref sd_ble_cfg_set with @ref BLE_CONN_CFG_GAP to increase the connection event length. Inspect p_dl_limitation to see where the limitation is.
