I am experimenting with stream buffers, in kernel version 10.2.1.

It appears there is an inconsistency in the documentation for the xStreamBufferCreateStatic() call.  
[https://www.freertos.org/xStreamBufferCreateStatic.html](https://www.freertos.org/xStreamBufferCreateStatic.html)

The pucStreamBufferStorageArea description specifies that buffer must be at least xBufferSizeBytes + 1 big. The xBufferSizeBytes description is “The size, in bytes, of the buffer pointed to by the pucStreamBufferStorageArea parameter.”

Document correction needed?

Thanks,  
-Rob

Looks like it - thanks for pointing it out.
