I’ve noticed that the [block diagram for the Pmod IOPs](https://pynq.readthedocs.io/en/v2.6.1/pynq_libraries/pmod.html#block-diagram) indicates that the Pmod interfaces do not support the UART API (‘uart.h’).
Is this true? Or are the Pmod pins capable of UART?

Yes, this is correct.
The Pmod pins are just “pins” so yes, they are capable of supporting UART.

Hi, Is PMOD uart support by base.bit? It means a software engineer could obtain the usege of it.
Thank you, I remember that you have already answer a lot of question well. Thank you very much.
