TTF and Xavier share the same processor and code base. However, they act differently when connected to a Windows laptop. Xavier is not as "reliable" as TTF and requires special handling. For example, you have to close TeraTerm when power cycling for Xavier but not for TTF. Note that the behavior of TTF and Xavier is the same and without issue when connecting to a Mac.
The behavior of both is also affected by which USB port on the Windows computer is used. USB-A works better than USB-C. This point is not relevant to Macs.
Purpose of this issue is a) to note this behavior and b) to request an in-depth review of the hardware designs of both to see what the differences are.
Xavier is now more usable than before but there are still some strange behaviors particularly in TeraTerm.
Assigning to both Jon and Rick B for coverage.
I'm labeling this as a hardware issue because of the identical code base of both projects. That could be incorrect so please review and update this issue with any findings. Thanks.
