Table 12-6. SPI Signal Connections
Module Pin Names (Function)
SPI Clock.: Connect to peripheral CLK pin(s)
SPI Data Output: Connect to target peripheral MOSI pin(s)
SPI Data Input: Connect to target peripheral MISO pin(s)
SPI Chip Selects.: Connect one CSx* pin per SPI interface to
each target peripheral CS pin on the interface
12.3 UART
The Jetson Xavier NX brings three UARTs out to the main connector. See Figure 12-5 for
typical assignments of the three available UARTs.

Notes:
1. In the Type/Dir column, Output is from Jetson Xavier NX. Input is to Jetson Xavier NX. Bidir is for Bidirectional signals.
2. The direction indicated for the UART pins except for is true when used for that function. Otherwise, these pins support GPIO
functionality and most can support both input and output (bidirectional) functionality. The exception is UART0_TXD, UART0_RTS*
and UART1_TXD. These have output-only buffers on the module to keep them from being affected by connected devices during
boot as they are associated with SoC strapping pins.
