A.2.1.5. COM Connector and UART Pin Header
The SOMBD1 carrier board is equipped with four COM connectors labeled as “J55”, “J57”, “J58” & “J59”, and
two UART pin headers labeled as “J8” and “J9”. The COM connectors support the RS-232 standard while
the UART pin headers are used to attach additional ports for serial devices that support TX/RX, RTS, CTS and
debugging TX/RX. The pinouts of COM connectors and UART pin headers are shown below.
Figure 18: COM connectors and UART pin headers diagram
Table 6: COM connectors pinouts
Table 7: UART pin headers pinouts
Note:
Neither connectors nor pin headers will function simultaneously, so if the COM connectors are enabled, the UART
pin headers will be disabled and vice-versa.
