The total amount of symbols returned by the encoder should not exceed the capacity of :c:macro:`SOC_RMT_MEM_WORDS_PER_CHANNEL`, or you might see an error message like ``encoding artifacts can't exceed hw memory block for loop transmission``. If you have to start a large transaction by loop, you can try either of the following methods.
 
     - Increase the :cpp:member:`rmt_tx_channel_config_t::mem_block_symbols`. This approach does not work if the DMA backend is also enabled.
     - Customize an encoder and construct an infinite loop in the encoding function. See also :ref:`rmt-rmt-encoder`.
