Yeah, sorry guys. Screw up on my part I pinned out uart 3 twice instead of uart 2 & 3. Future batches will have this fixed. You could technically run i2c out of the 8 pin and uart out of the side port but not many accessories use i2c.

Yeah I hear you guys, I spent a couple days investigating emulating a port or something but there is quite a bit of overlapping resources with timers etc regarding any of the plausible uart emulation examples from ST. If you do straight bit banging without dma I think it is not feasible since the mcu is already juggling a lot of other tasks.
Just for my own info can you guys list which uart accessories you plan to use?

Is this issue a physical problem that can be rewired/rerouted to function?
