5.9.7. RS-232 UART (HPS)

The development board supports two UART interfaces, the HPS debug UART and the FPGA debug UART interface. The HPS debug UART is connected to a mini-USB connector (J10) using a FT232RQ-REEL USB-to-UART bridge. The maximum supported rate for this interface is 1 Mbps. The FPGA debug UART is connected to the DB9 connector (J25) using a MAX3221 UART PHY. Board reference D11 and D12 are the HPS debug UART LEDs that illuminate to indicate TX and RX activity.
