UART3 is available for general use. Hardware flow control is supported.
Note from the schematic clip below, that the MPU can multiplex these signals with SPI1. This is normally configured in the Linux image and is not the default configuration.
UART3 Interface voltage
The signaling from the SOM to the NavQPlus carrier board on J9 is at 3V3 but the Murata 1ZM expects 1.8V. The level conversion is done using U26.

Schematic
UART3/ SPI 1 interface on J9
All the UART signals are protected from ESD using the Nexperia IP4292CZ components. This is part of an optimized BOM as they are also required for the USB interfaces. In additional to its exceptional performance the board layout may be optimized because of being able to route traces straight under the component.

Software
UART3 may be accessed as a standard /dev/ttyS_ in Linux.
UART3 may be accessed /dav/ttymxc2 in linux
<TODO-check wich ttyS number it is>
