Serial Pinouts

There is a 6 pin (unpopulated) connector on the lower right corner of the board I am in possession of labelled SJ6, the UART pinout seems to be as follows:

(?)

(TxD)

(RxD)

(?)

(?)

(GND) <

Keep in mind that the Hue Bridge will not boot on some versions if the Tx pin is connected during the boot process. This can probably be bypassed with a pull up or something of that nature, but I have had success by just plugging the Tx pin in a few seconds after boot.
