Uart1 supports many modem control signals, but I only need TXD and RXD. I understand from the archives that SPI will not work unless all (four) of its signals are actually enabled on physical I/O pins. I'm hoping this is not also true for uart1, which would waste many pins. Is it possible (on the LPC2106) to enable uart1 but not enable all the signals to be connected to external I/O pins? - Chris Graham

If I've read the User Manual correctly (page 78), I think that is the case. You can set up the PINSEL0 register so that P0.8 is UART1 TxD and P0.9 is UART1 RxD, and keep the unused UART1 pins as GPIO. Leon
