Helios64 has one UEXT (Universal-Extension-Connector) header which exposes 3 serial communication interfaces into a single header:
|
|
|
|
* I2C
|
|
* SPI
|
|
* RS232 (UART)
|
|
|

## Pinout Table

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:
|
|
|
|
- [SPI](/helios64/hardware/)
|
|
- [I2C](/helios64/i2c/)
|
|
|
|
## 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.
