Hi Carpenter, Thanks for the information. Could you indicate the tool and the command to generate this warning message?
In the code, 1) length = *gen5_pip->resp_len to get the expected response length, 2) then cyapa_empty_pip_output_data() try to polling the response data with the expect length, 3) at last, the length stored the real response length that it got in the polling function. 4) if the real response length is not 0, then assign the real response to replace the excpeted response length.
