Both can be set as RS232 but only one (J5) can be set as RS422-485.
Refer to the following tables for the serial ports pinout assignment in RS232/422/485 modes.

Note.
If the Serial port is used in RS485 mode, the bi-directional line must be controlled
via software, using the Data Terminal Ready (DTR) signal of the serial controller.
This signal is defined by bit 0 of the UART Modem Control Register (MCR) and the bi-
directional line is controlled as follows:
