11.6 Debug
Jetson TX2 NX supports a UART for debugging purposes. The UART intended for debug is
UART1 with is routed to a level shifter then to a 6-pin UART header on the developer kit carrier
board.

Notes:
1. In the Type/Dir column, Output is from Jetson TX2 NX. Input is to Jetson TX2 NX. Bidir is for Bidirectional signals.
2. The direction for UART2_RXD is true when used for this function. Otherwise as a GPIO, the direction is bidirectional.
