EB Buffer overflow The "EB Buffer overflow!" indication is given when the internal packet buffer on the Evaluation Board MCU is full. This can happen when the PC application is not able to read packets from the buffer fast enough. The EB MCU tries to store the incoming packet, but does not succeed since the buffer is full. In this case an "overflow" message is sent to the PC. The problem can be solved by increasing the time between each packet sent from the transmitter. If the transmitter is controlled by SmartRF Studio in Packet TX, it is possible to change the packet interval.
