I installed devel/arduino18 (1.8.2_2) on TrueOS/unstable

  FreeBSD 12.0-CURRENT #13 5085b9023(trueos-master)

I am encountering two problems.

1) The arduino18 IDE does program both Uno and Mega1280 but the sketch does not
run; the boards are getting continuously reset.  It appears to be caused by the
Arduino IDE constantly opening and closing files in /dev/usb - I expect it is
trying to determine which USB devices are serial ports.

2) The Leonardo does not program and the programmer times out.  The Leonardo
uses AVR with on-chip USB so I expect the reset causes its USB stack to restart
and then FreeBSD kernel must scan the USB bus again. Some times it will change
fro cuaU0 to cuaU1. 


I just found a work around for problem 1 - keep the serial monitor window open
as this appears to stop the IDE scanning this port, and it can be left open
even when programming.

On the same machine Arch Linux programs all three board types successfully, so
I do not think there is any hardware problems, though it is a slightly newer
version of the IDE: 1.8.5.

Is anyone running this successfully on other FreeBSD versions?
