@Harvey Ah, good one ! I was just thinking inverter when I saw your post, but I am not an electronics engineer by any stretch of the imagination . . . wasn't sure it would work. @Winston. OK, my bad. I was actually thinking this could be the case, but was unsure. Harvey's suggestions seems

The GPIO pins on most processors, are open inputs until configured. So a weak pull up resistor to +3.3V (not the switched +3.3V) on the TX line between the Sitara pin and the MAX3232 input would likely fix your problem. Once configured, the TX line will overpower the weak pull up resistor. ---
