This is the primary Versal adaptive SoC PS-side UART interface. The VMK180 USB Type-C connector J207 only supports USB2.0.

MIO42 (RX_IN) and MIO43 (TX_OUT) are connected to FTDI FT4232HL U20 USB-to-Quad-UART bridge port BD through TI SN74AVC4T245 level-shifters U18 and U21. The FT4232HL U20 port assignments are listed in the following table.

Table 1. FT4232HL Port Assignments
FT4232HL U34 Versal Device U1
Port AD JTAG VMK180 JTAG chain
Port BD UART0 PS_UART0 (MIO 18-19)
Port CD UART1 PL_UART1 bank 306
Port DD UART2 U20 system controller UART

The FT4232HL UART interface connections are shown in the following figure.
