6 Days, 16 Hours and 54 minutes to find out that one.
Technically it was supported last year, but disallowed in the rules.

There are other methods to bridge, such as the 2CAN. Again, GDC... wait... kickoff soon...

Maybe there's a way to use the serial ports from the empty module slots?

Those aren't serial ports as you would think of them. They are just a bunch of pins that go straight into the FPGA.
