Getting an NSAPI_ERROR_DEVICE_ERROR when attempting to download a modestly sized AWS shadow using the mbed-client-for-aws

Hi,

I’ve run into a strange error with the mbed AWS client when attempting to download a shadow. It works fine until the shadow gets to a certain size, somewhere around 200 - 300 characters. The client fails with an lwip NSAPI_ERROR_DEVICE_ERROR, which doesn’t make much sense, as we have a variety of firmware versions we have run on these board that do run against AWS and we have never seen any device errors or hardware issues.

I presume there is a buffer that needs to be increased somewhere, but I have changed all of the expected settings and am not seeing any different results.

We are using a board which is based on the MK64 and inherits from the K64F target. I’ve attached the code snippet, log output, and mbed_app.json to help. I’d love to know which setting needs to be changed to allow for larger AWS shadows.

Thanks!
