Thank you

for J5 : if you please the board with the RS232 connector on the right hand side, the top left is VCC from power supply, top right is VCC of the board, bottom left is GND from power supply, bottom right is GND of the board.

for J8 : short 1-2 if you are debugging with the VDD to be supplied by the debugger FET. I usually left the jumper for stay at 1-2. It does not affect normal running.

for J6 :  it has the UART and the debugging spy-bi-wire pins leaded out. check the schematic for which pin is which

Oh sorry ! I through you are talking about another EVM. Please ignore my previous answer.
