BX310x RTS ignored

IoT Modules WiFi and Bluetooth Modules

I found out that my BX3105 is ignoring my RTS setting.
I sent a custom HTTPS request for downloading a 1MB file from a fileserver.
While receiving the data, my host controller sets the RTS pin to high (verified via scope). The BX3105 module still sends the data which causes my uart to drop data that does not fit into the buffer.
My UART fits 12000 Byte and RTS is set to high if only 1200 Byte are free inside the buffer. RTS is set back to low when only 1200 Byte are left inside the buffer.
Problem is, that the data is still sent by BX3105 event when RTS is never again set back to low. I tested this on 2 PCBs.

During initialization the following is done for HW settings:
AT
OK
AT&K3
OK
AT+IPR=500000
OK
…

From the wiring:
My RTS -> UART0_RTS (Pin 2)
My CTS -> UART0_CTS (Pin 3)
My TX -> UART0_TXD (Pin 4)
My RX -> UART0_RXD (Pin 5)

I do not even dare to try baudrate above 500k. I also have a HL7692 module connected to another UART of my PCB with 3M baudrate and the RTS of this seems to be working fine.

I hope someone can help me or give me a hint what I can do.

I tried with BX module with FW "P1.0.0.201805311132.BX310x.1 " with Ubuntu PC minicom tool.
The AT&K3 actually is working fine.

Thanks for the response.

I am using firmware version 2.5.0-2.
My post was missing some info. With custom HTTPS request I mean, that we have an TLS stack and only use TCP of the BX3105.
When my problem with RTS occurs the +KTCPDATA events are incoming without a way to stop them. And since they contain the complete data, my buffer cannot hold them all.

if i remember correctly, FW R2.5 is not working with flow control.
Not sure if it works with the latest FW.
You can give a try on that.

Thanks for the info.
I would try the firmware, but firmware 2.6.3 is not released for AirVantage and we did not implement an UART updater, because of AirVantage.

Are you test flow control on 2.6.3 firmware?
