3.8.3. Auxiliary UART Port
The auxiliary UART port is designed as a general purpose UART for communication with DTE. It also
supports log output for firmware debugging, and hardware flow control*. Its baud rate is 115200bps by
default. The following is a reference design of auxiliary UART port.

3.8.4. UART Application
The module provides 1.8V UART interfaces. A level translator should be used if the application is
equipped with a 3.3V UART interface. A level translator TXS0108EPWR provided by
Texas Instruments
(please visit http://www.ti.com for more information) is recommended. The following figure shows a
reference design.
