3.10. UART Interfaces
The module provides three UART interfaces: main UART interface, debug UART interface, and BT UART
interface. Features of these interfaces are shown as below:
Main UART interface supports 4800bps, 9600bps, 19200bps, 38400bps, 57600bps, 115200bps
(default), 230400bps, 460800bps, and 921600bps baud rates. It is used for data transmission and AT
command communication. And it supports RTS and CTS hardware flow control.
Debug UART interface supports 115200bps baud rate. It is used for Linux console and log output.
BT UART interface supports 115200bps baud rate. It is used for BT communication and can be
multiplexed into SPI interface*.
“*” means under development.
