Hi,
We've got a custom modem card and we brought out BLSP8_2_RX_GPIO5 and BLSP8_3_TX_GPIO4 to a connector thinking that we may use it as a UART interface to VOXL.
Now it seems we may want to use those pins as GPIO.  Is this possible?
If yes, then can I simply use /sys/class/gpio to configure and use those as GPIO?
