Embassy_serial can't transmit a package more than 128bytes

[cvbni]

I debug on embassy_serial example,and I fund a question:
The "set_rx_fifo_full_threshold" in esp32-c2 can set to 0x1FF(511),but the UART_FIFO_SIZE is 128,

I changed the UART_FIFO_SIZE to 256 in uart.rs file,but it not work

I want to transmit package more than 128bytes.
Any help ,thanks!!!

Have you actually tried transmitting more than 128 bytes? set_rx_fifo_full_threshold has nothing to do with transmission. write_async should handle the chunking already.

Sorry I didn't make it clear. What I mean by this is that UART can't receive more than 128bytes of data

    let mut uart0 = Uart::new_async(peripherals.UART0, &clocks);
    uart0.set_at_cmd(AtCmdConfig::new(None, None, None, 0x04, None));
    uart0.set_rx_fifo_full_threshold(256 as u16).unwrap();//510
    uart0.set_rx_timeout(Some(8)).unwrap();

    let (mut tx0, mut rx0) = uart0.split();
    match select(
        pin!(async move {
            let mut buf = [0u8; 512];
            loop {
                let r = match embedded_io_async::Read::read(&mut rx0, &mut buf[2..]).await {
                    Ok(len) => len,
                    Err(_) => 0 as usize,
                };
                println!("read {} bytes", r);
                println!("read {:?} bytes", &buf[..r]);
                buf[1] = (r & 0xff) as u8;
                buf[0] = ((r >> 8) & 0xff) as u8;
                CH0.send(buf).await;
            }
        }),
        pin!(async move {
            loop {
                println!("\nHello world! Second");
                let buf = CH0.receive().await;
                let b0 = buf[0] as usize;
                let b1 = buf[1] as usize;
                let w = b1 + (b0 << 8);
                println!("b0 {b0} b1 {b1}");
                //println!("{:?}", &buf[2..(w+2)]);//b"Hello async serial\r\n"
                tx0.write_async(&buf[2..(w + 2)]).await.unwrap();
            }
        }),
    )
    .await
    {
        Either::First(_a) => {}
        Either::Second(_b) => {}
    }

not work here,if i send more than 128bytes data from PC uart tool.

                let r = match embedded_io_async::Read::read(&mut rx0, &mut buf[2..]).await {
                    Ok(len) => len,
                    Err(_) => 0 as usize,
                };
                println!("read {} bytes", r);
                println!("read {:?} bytes", &buf[..r]);

What I mean by this is that UART can't receive more than 128bytes of data

When you say this, can you be more clear about "can't receive"? Do you mean in one go? Does the data show up with more calls to read()? What baudrate? Any errors?

Ideally a simple and small reproducible repo would help us figure out what's going on.

I can reproduce your results but your example should work if you set the rx-fifo-full-threshold to 128 (or less) but you will receive data in multiple chunks.

In theory the UARTs can be configured in a more flexible way regarding their usage of UART RAM:

We currently don't support that but that's the reason why the thresholds are 8 bit.

[cvbni]

OK, I understand, thanks, I will modify my program to adapt to 128 byte slices
