Hi Björn,
sorry for late answer.

Situation is really strange here:
Buffer size is 1514, after call it is equal to e.g. 60. But
l4ore_recv_blocking() return value is always 1.
Return value should be the required buffer size or negative error code or
zero.
I checked return value on ORe side. It is zero.
Then I looked deeper into function ore_rxtx_recv_reply() generated by DICE.
It is called on server side if answer was delayed (l4ore_recv_blocking() -
is async).
The function contains following code:
_dice_msg_buffer.rxtx_recv_out._dice_return = _dice_return;
_dice_return is equal to zero here but for some unknown reason
_dice_msg_buffer.rxtx_recv_out._dice_return field never transmitted to
ore_rxtx_recv_call() function. So in ore_rxtx_recv_call() function:
_dice_msg_buffer.rxtx_recv_out._dice_return := 1
I know it sounds strange but it is true.
Maybe it is bug in DICE.
Could you help please?
Best Regards,
Alexander Valitov
