Is it possible to use other pins that are not UART?

[karlahaiat]

I understand the pins have the special characteristics, but I am trying to run serial hardware on my pi at the same time and was wondering if there was a way to do this without those pins.

in principle there are several software uart imeplementations all over github for pi's but you'd have to rewrite a good portion of the code to make it work (to use the softUART instead of the peripheral) and also route the pins differently
