If the switch is on then the headphone connector is in audio mode, if it's off then it's in UART mode. This uart serial connection can also be used for communication with other devices from the PinePhone.

The uart is 115200n8

The pinout for the serial connector on the tablet side is:

  • Tip: RX
  • Ring: TX
  • Sleeve: GND

The serial connection is 3.3V

Connecting to the console
