Based on Apollo lake SOC which is in MRB board, we want to configure SIO_SPI_1 as one UART port according to the document # 562447 (looks SPI_1 can be set as LPSS_UART3).
however from Intel document # 557555 EDS file: "the SPI functionality of SIO_SPI_1 and SIO_SPI_2 is not POR and these signals can be used as GPIOs ONLY."
Can Intel clarify which one statement is correct ?
thanks.

For Apollo Lake-I, i.e. Atom E3900/A3900 series, the pins can be used in UART mode, as UART3, if muxed as Fn2. See Table 9 of # 558402. I have raised a ticket for the documentation to be updated, which currently does not mention the Fn2 information.

Waiting for the information that should answer these questions.
