Page 12: Swd
Console port The ConnectCore 8X SBC Express provides a 4-pin, 1.25 mm pitch connector (J5) as its debug console port. The UART2 port of the ConnectCore 8X system-on-module is used for this purpose. The console signal is a serial TTL, which travels through the console connector directly to the i.MX 8X processor. A TTL-to-USB cable can be used for accessing this console port from a host PC USB port. -
