I second this. There is way too much text in this conversation and not enough data. It also does not help if every system is somewhat different. >> To all appearances, the troublemaker is powerd. > > I'd word it that powerd activity is involved --but is unlikely to > be the only activity involved in the bad interaction(s).

I could imagine a situation when mini uart speed changes during downlocking the CPU. There was suggestion to not use mini uart. Use the port where the frequency is not changing with the weather. I don't know how smart is the power management with powerd, but I could also imagine shutting down peripherials or stopping the UART clock as a potential power saving feature, so here you are.
