UART 0 & UART 2 Behave Differently
Beaglebone Blue - with a recent recommended Debian release
Below is Strawson's example UART loopback program. With minor changes to
read continuously.
I have attached an Arduino 115200 baud char output stream to both the UART0
& UART2 in parallel.
If UART2 is selected the stream will read as expected - maybe forever.
If UART0 is selected the stream will read for perhaps 30 seconds. The
PUTTY cursor will flash and the program stalls until interrupted with a ctl
C.
I suspect there is some conflict within LINUX?? If anyone has an idea
about this,
it will be greatly appreciated.

* @file rc_uart_loopback.c
* @example rc_uart_loopback
*
* This is a test to check read and write operation of UART buses. For this
* example to work, connect the RX and TX wires of one of the included 4-pin
* JST-SH pigtails and plug into the UART1 or UART5 headers. You may also
elect
* to test UART0 on the debug header or UART2 on the GPS header. The test
* strings this programs transmits will then loopback to the RX channel.
