Thank you

    Take a look at the documentation:

    I don't think you're missing anything. The documentation does not provide for switching to the other port.
    I suspect the only way it can be done is to modify the firmware and you have no way of doing that.

    That is correct…the firmware would have to be modified to do this and that port is already defined in the low-level firmware for debugging, so it cannot be easily switched even if you did have a way to modify the firmware.
