Axon GPIO Description
Vicharak Axon board features a 30-pin GPIO (General-Purpose Input/Output) header that provides flexible options for connecting and controlling external devices. Through software settings, you can configure these pins as either input or output, making them adaptable for various applications.
Out of the 30 pins on the header, 9 are dedicated GPIO pins. These GPIO pins can also be repurposed for SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface), UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter), PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) and I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) functions.
This versatility opens up a wide array of possibilities for interfacing with different components and facilitating communication with other devices.

Note
The default function of pins marked in orange are specific to this board. For example, Pins 27, 28, 29 and 30 cannot be used as GPIOs as they are SARADC pins.
All pins, except those for power supply, are directly connected to the System-on-Chip (SoC).
Instructions to use UART2 as serial console can be found in Serial Console, and to disable it, refer to Vicharak Config Device tree overlays section.
UART2
has a default baudrate of 115200bps.
