We are developing a device that communicates with a remote management system via tcp sockets over LTE. We are using the NRF Connect SDK 1.4.0 with modem firmware mfw_nrf9160_1.3.0. Using the code below we are able to send packets with sizes up to 2656 bytes without issue. The largest data frame that we are sending is ~9kB manually split into 3 chunks of 2656, 2704 and 4256 bytes. This code produces the first log shown below. Manually limiting the size to 1024 in the function call to send () has little to no effect on the outcome, see the second log below.
So my questions are:
- How do I handle EAGAIN errors from the library?
- If 2048 bytes is the limit for nrf91_socket_offload_sendto, why don't I get errno = EMSGSIZE ( = 36) for the other packets?
- What needs to be done to correctly send all packets via LTE?
int SocketWrite (int sock, uint8_t *pData, int datalen)
{
u32_t offset = 0U;
u8_t attempts = 0U;
int ret;
while (offset < datalen) {
ret = send(sock, data + offset, (datalen - offset), 0);
// ret = send(sock, data + offset, MIN(1024, (datalen - offset)), 0);
if (ret < 0)
{
LOG_ERR ("Send failure (%d/%d)", ret, errno);
if (errno == ENOBUFS)
{
LOG_INF ("Waiting for more buffers");
waitingForBuffers = true;
}
else if (errno == EAGAIN)
{
LOG_INF ("Resending data");
}
else
{
break;
}
}
else
{
offset += ret;
}
if (attempts++ > 6)
{
LOG_INF ("Force stopping send @ %u iterations", 6);
break;
}
}
if (offset != datalen)
{
LOG_WRN ("Sent bytes do not match data len (%u != %u)", offset, datalen);
}
}
