Research direction

Start with the board file's UART enable definition and trace how it controls the UART functions during the build. Reproduce the reported error with UART disabled, then verify that disabling it excludes the UART code as well as the pin definitions and that the firmware builds successfully.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Disabling the UART in the board file only disables the pin defines, it doesn't exclude the UART functions and causes error.
