Hi,
I'm experiencing exactly the same issue on a Coldfire 5329.
It seems to be a random problem... Till now, I haven't found any
cause-effect
relation between the actions taken on the microcontroller.
I noticed that sometimes when I disconnect and reconnect the terminal
emulator on the pc, the receiving process restarts regularly.
In my opinion it is a pc related problem...
Regards,
Alessandro

thanks all for the replies,
no Xon Xoff is enabled in the terminal, i tested also other PC
terminals, same issue.
Problem seems to happen for some hours/days, and then disappear, to
come back again.
MAX3232 circuit seems working properly, and in any case, it don't have
any memory inside.
Don't seems also that unused HW interrupts are the cause, i pulled
them up.
The fact that when i press a key, the rest of the message is received,
make me think that the device is in some "paused" state, and send the
reminder when i unlock it pressing a key.
At boot, big parts of "mesg" are not sent out, and sometime i don't
even get those parts later, but just the promt (#), like below.

115200 should be still a quite safe serial speed, measured the bit
width through scope, it is 8.8usec, (113.636 baud) the cable is
hand-made. but in any case, as i said, often most of the missing parts
are sent to the PC later, when i press a key, so this don't seems to
be cable related.
I am still investigating.
thanks

Angelo

i have a strange issue on the console serial port.
On a coldfire 5307, uClinux kernel 2.6.X, using the console serial port
at 115200,N,8,1, bus_clock 45Mhz, sometime a block of bytes (even some
hundreds) seems lost and not received from the PC-side terminal. But
when i press a key, the missing block is then received.
Example:
# ls
bin dev etc
(nothing more is received, so i press <enter>)
# ls
bin dev etc home lib mnt proc tmp usr var
#
(after enter missing part arrive).
Could this issue be related to some kernel misconfiguration ? Or most
probably another HW issue ?
115200 is really pushing it unless you have a high quality cable and
good buffering on both ends of the link (which the console port probably
doesn't have). Use 57600 if you want reliable console is my experience.
Now the other possibility is that you have an IRQ mistake, in which
case you hitting a key generates an IRQ that then causes it to start
transmitting again. Maybe your IRQ line isn't hooked up properly or
not configured right.
