Helios64 has one UEXT (Universal-Extension-Connector) header which exposes 3 serial communication interfaces into a single header:

  • I2C
  • SPI
  • RS232 (UART)

P2 Pinout

Below is the full pinout of the UEXT header:

PIN Port Remarks
1 3.3V
2 GND
3 TXD (UART)
4 RXD (UART)
5 SCL (I2C)
6 SDA (I2C)
7 MISO (SPI)
8 MOSI (SPI)
9 SCK (SPI)
10 SSEL (SPI)

!!! Warning Be careful with the header polarity when connecting.

SPI & I2C

Refer to the respective pages directly:

RS232 (UART)

The UART bus exposed on the UEXT header is the same than the RK3399 SoC serial console exposed on the USB Type-C. There is no dedicated UART bus on the UEXT connector. The intention is to allow user to connect to SoC serial console by another way than the USB-to-Serial bridge.

!!! Important If you connect some modules which might require dedicated serial UART line to the SoC, this module will not operate properly.
