# UART Debug with Built-in Terminal
Utilize the built-in terminal for UART debugging, allowing real-time monitoring and interaction with serial data streams from the target device.
When pins 1 and 3 are set up as UART, you have the option to connect them either to a virtual serial port or to the built-in UART terminal of the Kiwi device.
The UART pins can be connected to the target computer or any other device equipped with a UART port.
{% hint style="warning" %}
The connection configuration will not be activated and persisted until you click the "Apply Settings" button.
{% endhint %}
When the pins are set up as UART connected to the built-in terminal, you can open the terminal by navigating to Advanced -> UART Terminal in the menu.
