I thought that each flavor of Debian (BBB vs Rpi vs ....) was built for a specific platform. Live and learn.
For my project, I went with a Rpi as the platform despite the buggy UART on board the Rpi. I fixed that issue with a USB -> RS232 adapter. I started to go with a BBB because the UARTs on board the BBB appear to be better than the Rpi. Anyway my project is done and my wife is happy as she does not need yet another remote to watch TV.
