      @stevo52 Do you have anything else connected to the Expansion Board, especially on port P8? Do you have an SD card inserted in the expansion board?

        @xykon I eliminated that scenario early on, the problem is the same with or without the SD Card. I removed the GPY from the expansion board and put it in a proto board (tried 3 different ones - different brands) and tried connecting with a USB to UART TTL RS232 cable - wire ends. That removed the expansion board completely but still no go as far as flashing goes but I can talk to the GPY and upload code files OK.

          @stevo52 Yes, from the distance, it sounds like a hardware problem with the board. Maybe a broken wire or a bad solder point at the P2 pin.
