Cannot alter MTU after connecting a peripheral device using the python library "pc_ble_driver_py"

[uri_ee]

Hello, 

I'm using the nRF device to communicate with a peripheral device I get some characteristic notifications but only 20 bytes for a packet.

When using the 'nRF connect' GUI I manage to update the MTU from 23 to any larger value and get the full notification.

But I cannot alter MTU after connecting a peripheral device using the python library "pc_ble_driver_py".

Iv'e tried many ways like setting the default_mtu and the att_mtu on adapter initialization:

driver = BLEDriver(
    serial_port=port,
    auto_flash=auto_flash,
    baud_rate=baud_rate,
    retransmission_interval=retransmission_interval,
    response_timeout=response_timeout,
    log_severity_level=driver_log_level,
)
driver.ble_gattc_exchange_mtu_req
adapter = BLEAdapter(driver)
adapter.default_mtu = 247
adapter.driver.open()
gatt_cfg = BLEConfigConnGatt()
gatt_cfg.att_mtu = adapter.default_mtu
adapter.driver.ble_cfg_set(BLEConfig.conn_gatt, gatt_cfg)
adapter.driver.ble_enable()
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
driver = BLEDriver(
    serial_port=port,
    auto_flash=auto_flash,
    baud_rate=baud_rate,
    retransmission_interval=retransmission_interval,
    response_timeout=response_timeout,
    log_severity_level=driver_log_level,
)
driver.ble_gattc_exchange_mtu_req
adapter = BLEAdapter(driver)
adapter.default_mtu = 247
adapter.driver.open()
gatt_cfg = BLEConfigConnGatt()
gatt_cfg.att_mtu = adapter.default_mtu
adapter.driver.ble_cfg_set(BLEConfig.conn_gatt, gatt_cfg)
adapter.driver.ble_enable()


And to use the adapter.att_mtu_exchange function to but for no avail.
when i execute tyhe command : 
Fullscreen
1
self.ble_adapter.att_mtu_exchange(self.conn_handler, 23)
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
self.ble_adapter.att_mtu_exchange(self.conn_handler, 23)
 

it's running fine but when i try to increece the mtu to a different level like:
Fullscreen
1
self.ble_adapter.att_mtu_exchange(self.conn_handler, 247)
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
self.ble_adapter.att_mtu_exchange(self.conn_handler, 247)
 (or any number greater then 23)

it allways raise the folowing exception:

NordicSemiException: MTU exchange request failed. Common causes are: missing att_mtu setting in ble_cfg_set, different config tags used in ble_cfg_set and connect.

Is there any way to overcome this hurdle?

Thanks,
Uri
