It's connected to pin 2 & 3, on the RX there is a level shifting circuit to go from 5V to 3V3 logic and then there is transient voltage protection on power and TX/RX lines. Looks straightforward.
Here is the schematic I traced. (note since this was just a trace I did not try to figure out the resistor, capacitor, or transistor values)

Added after 9 [minutes]:
>>21578382 No I have a USB UART adapter connected to Log_tx and Log_rx to watch what's going on. I will try with only VCC & GND.
Added after 27 [minutes]:
With only the VCC and GND connected when I issue the startDriver TCL it still crashes and reboots but I can't capture the error as the Web Application logs starts after the reboot, I would assume it's the same error.
