Serial debugging (UART)
Xiaomi POCO X3 NFC uses 1.8 voltage for UART. So make sure that the logic one of your TTL adapter starts at a voltage below 1.8v.
The RX pin should be pulled-up to 1.8v to obtain the log. In Linux and U-Boot we pulled-up this pin software, but if you want to receive the log the rest of the time too, then you need to pull-up this pin hardware. It is enough to solder the TX pin of the adapter to the RX pin on the device, but make sure that your TTL adapter has a voltage of 1.8v (If this is not the case, then use a voltage divider schematic or buy an adapter with a voltage of 1.8v).
