Serial communication with the Yun is randomly lost

Official Hardware Classic Yún
1

Hi all,

I'm having an issue with the Yun. Everything's usually working fine, I'm using Serial communication to communicate with my computer from the sketch. At some point (sometimes after half an hour, sometimes after a few minutes only), Serial communication stops working and the Yun disappears from the Serial ports list (in /dev on my mac). The sketch is still running and the only way to fix it is to press the "32U4 RST" button.

I was running the exact same sketch on the Uno and never had any problem. I know that the Serial communication is implemented differently on the Uno and on the Yun (which uses a virtual port), do you think it's the reason why it just randomly stops like that? How to fix it?

(I've tried using the Console class instead of Serial, and connecting through SSH to the Yun, but it is not fast enough for my sketch..).

Thanks a lot !

@ludoca,
There subtle differences between all Arudino devices. The closest relation to the Arudino Yun it the Leonardo. You can read about the differences here. Please post your code. We'll try to debug it for you.
