The maximum fifo buffer length is RAW_FIFO_MAX_NUMBER + 1 = 257, but the
maximum value of terminal fifo buffer index is sizeof(UINT8) - 1 = 255 with
UINT8 type, so check if fifo buffer is empty or full with below expression,
((Tail + 1) % (RAW_FIFO_MAX_NUMBER + 1)) == Head, (Tail + 1) might be
sizeof(UINT8) + 1 = 256, for UINT8 type, it does not make any sense.

Hi,
Sorry, I don't understand the patch. UINT8 type would have the value limitation. But why does it affect the buffer size?
Did you observed the overflow with the original value? If yes, can you share the example?
Thanks,
Zhichao

Hi Zhigao,
Let's take the following code as an example, as we know, The maximum data represented by the UINT8 type is 255,
So the equation condition on line 812 will not be true under special circumstances in picture 1, because (RAW_FIFO_MAX_NUMBER + 1) = 257,
So when the fifo buffer is full with head = 0 and Tail = 255, the maximum value of (Tail + 1) % (RAW_FIFO_MAX_NUMBER + 1) is 256,
This function will return false, This situation will occur in rare cases.
This is a classic case we encountered in the project, our program will hang in picture 2 in this situation when the serial port does not respond.

Hi,
Now I understood. It is a bug fix. But the commit message is not clear.
typedef struct {
UINT8 Head;
UINT8 Tail;
UINT8 Data[RAW_FIFO_MAX_NUMBER + 1];
} RAW_DATA_FIFO;
RAW_FIFO_MAX_NUMBER is 256.
the data buffer size is 257 (Index from 0 to 256), but the max value of the index, Head or Tail (UINT8), is 255. That means the last data of the data buffer would be always empty if we use Head/Tail to output/input the data correctly.
And because of the incorrect buffer size the FIFO full check “((Tail + 1) % (RAW_FIFO_MAX_NUMBER + 1)) == Head” would never meet.
Thanks,
Zhichao
