2.15 USB-UART connector (J901)
The i.MX 8M Nano UL Applications Processor has four independent UART Ports (UART1 – UART4). On the EVK, UART2 is
used for Cortex-A53 core, and UART4 is used for Cortex-M7 core. We use a Single chip USB to dual channel UART IC for
system debugging, and the part number is FT2232D. The developers can download the driver from
for FT2232D is installed, the PC will enumerate two COM ports when the USB cable is plugged into J901. Developers can use
Putty, Tera Term, Xshell, or other terminal tools.

2.16 Expansion connector (J1003)
One 40-pin dual-row Pin Header connector (J1003) is provided on the EVK to support I2S, UART, I2C, and GPIO connection. The
developers can use the port for some specific application development.
