Hardware Hacking: Finding UART Pinouts on PCBs
April 14, 2023 - Since I've already explained these are most commonly found in a 4 pin configuration, you'll generally be looking for either a 4 pin header, populated or unpopulated, or perhaps just 4 test points (just exposed dots that are without solder).

UART at Raspberry Pi GPIO Pinout
Assuming you have WiringPi-Python installed, the following python example opens the Pi's UART at 9600baud and puts 'hello world'

What is “UART1” and what do I plug in there? I have a small cable that has six pins on one side, and the other side that splits into 2 two pins, and 2 one pins. Does this go there? If so where does the other end plug into?
No it doesn’t go there,UART is a serial communication port, the cable was in the case ? More on reddit.com

UART Pinout
I finally found some time to inspect the NST board for a spare UART and the search was successful! The serial port can be accessed on U2713, pin 2 is RX, pin 3 is TX, device node is /dev/ttyS1. I use it with a 3.3V USB-to-UART adapter, but... More on xdaforums.com

Overthinking UART Pinout · Medo's Home Page
January 30, 2022 - For my “standard” pinout I wanted to be able to easily switch TXD and RXD lines. Since UART really needs only three pins, it was clear that the first three pins had to be [TXD GND RXD]. This way rotating 180° allows you to connect two cables together allowing for point-to-point connection.

UART cable for Mini-TX and Mini-RX - Marvelmind Robotics
UART cable for Mini-TX and Mini-RX
The UART cable provides simple UART connectivity from Mini-TX and Mini-RX to external devices, for example, PixHawk or Arduino. Just two wires (TX and GND) are required. This connectivity option eliminates the need for a USB-to-UART converter for simple devices without USB host, which would otherwise bring additional complexity, cabling, and weight. Content: 6-pin SMD connector that can be soldered to the Mini-RX board. Mini-TX already has the connector soldered Mating 6-pin connector with 10cm wires ready for soldering, for example, to other boards of pins to connect to PixHawk

The pin labels correspond to the pinout on the autopilot side. All cables are straight (1:1). If they require crossover (e.g. UART), this should be solved by internal connection of the devices.
