2. Generate a configuration patch that increase "Max Packet Payload" to 251 in "Platform" tab

4. Read the patches from IRAM and locate the patch we just applied and save it into a emp file.
5. Put the emp file into folder “AmbiqSuite\tools\emp2include”
6. Run “emp2include.py -o OTP” in command line
7. Follow below Knowledge Base article to change ATT MTU size to 251 bytes
