4.4.4 UART Connection

The SAM R34 Xplained Pro Evaluation Kit exposes the UART on EXT1. This is useful for command line interfaces, debugging and application layer code.

Info: The TXD/RXD UART signals exposed on EXT1 are connected to SERCOM 5 which is in low-power domain PD0. Because of low-power constraints, SERCOM 5 does not support CTS/RTS flow-control signals.

The following table provides the UART signals pin description.
