If I have the PC insert 1msec byte spacing between data bytes sent to the NRF51422, it receives the message and doesn't reset. I can send messages less than 10 bytes to the NRF51422 all day long without any issues without the need of any byte spacing. I have verified that my UART receive buffer is not overflowing (circular buffer). I have the baud rate set to 115200. I have tried other baud rate values with the same luck. I am using flow control on the NRF51422 (RTS/CTS) and PC. I really don't want to place inter-byte spacing on the data being sent from the PC. I'm not big on "band-aids". ;)
FYI: I'm sending serial data from the PC via an FTDI usb to serial cable (3.3V version).
