Please figure out why your hardware is misbehaving before you make a
mess of everyone elses stuff. I've seen nothing from you in the way of
register dumps when this occurs. You need to find out what is actually
happening on your board.

I wan't trying to be difficult, just looking for next steps. I replied to your initial suggestion but never heard back on what to try or do going forward.

Can you explain further why you had to change wait_for_xmitr() from testing BOTH_EMPTY to UART_LSR_THRE.

Also, what exactly would you be looking for in a register dump?

thanks
