Donal,
I'm not using SD, but internal flash. I made some tests here and noticed that 
flash is faster than the SD, and more reliable.

Ts support said maybe it can be a problem related to processor usage, because 
uart buffer has only 5 bytes, so, it overflows during hi-processing tasks. The 
suggestion is making the thread less 'nice'.

It seems the problem is solved. I'll make more tests, but for this moment it's 
enough.

Regards

Adriano
