Connecting P0.23 to the USB_Vbus solved the "Broken pipe" problem and
the random bootup... it wasn't easy to access P0.23 (it isn't
connected to anything on the Classix) and it is a little bit annoying
not having it in the connector!

You are talking about a version of the board that has the P0.23
included in the serial connector! I can't find it, could you show me
where it is?

Would it be possible to use P0.14? I guess not, because it is used to
program the USB bootloader...
