In all reference designs of this section, the signals of pins on the module is named in perspective of
module while peripheral pins are named from the view of the components. For example, UART_TXD
indicates the pin that the module sends data while MCU_RXD indicates the pin that MCU receives data.
These two pins should be connected.
Please note the signal naming of pins on the components in peripheral selection and design.
