    1. Physical pin number for receiving data through UART
  2. UART Receive Pin Function (Bits 15...8)
    1. Function multiplexer selection for the receive pin
  3. UART Transmit Pin Number (Bits 23...16)
    1. Physical pin number for transmitting data through UART
  4. UART Transmit Pin Function (Bits 31...24)
    1. Function multiplexer selection for the transmit pin

I2C Interface Pins (0x80101C08)
