3.10. UART Interfaces
The module provides two UART interfaces: the main UART interface and the debug UART interface. The
following shows their features.

The main UART interface supports 4800bps, 9600bps, 19200bps, 38400bps, 57600bps, 115200bps,
230400bps, 460800bps and 921600bps baud rates, and the default is 115200bps. The interface is
used for data transmission and AT command communication.

The debug UART interface supports 115200bps baud rate. It is used for Linux console and log
output.
The following tables show the pin definition of the UART interfaces.
