Tx & Rx on Froyo, Update to Gingerbread - No Rx!

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download & Install SerialPort_1.1.apk
2. Run app on same hardware (Freescale MX51-BBG) 2.3.7 (it fails) vs 2.2 (it 
passes)
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Transmit data emitted on 2.2 (Froyo) and 2.3.7 (Gingerbread).
No Receive data (in Console: reception widget) - ever.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Downloaded and ran latest SerialPort_1.1.apk from this site.

Please provide any additional information below.
In debugging custom app running serialport lib I notice in debugger a new msg 
in ReadThread, mInputStream fileSystem;
  in Froyo used to be: "OSFileSystem (id...)"
  in Gingerbread it's: "BlockGuard$WrappedFileSystem (id....)

(currently researching this...)

But since your SerialPort_1.1.apk behaves identically w/o a ReadThread - this 
seems most likely to be meaningless.

Why work on Android 2.2 and no Rcv on Android 2.3.7?

Incidentally Loopback does not see any received bytes as well!  Frankly, I'm 
stumped.  I did not expect any issues from a modest bump from Froyo to 
Gingerbread to present issues to basic UART serial I/O.   
:(

This is NOT a serial-port-api issue.  The Linux Kernel (2.6.35) Freescale iomux 
definitions were incorrect and had to be corrected.  The Serial port was 100% 
fully functional after this Kernel mod.
