USB-UART 1.8V?

Hi,

I would like to start a new project with GIMX. I'm hoping that this way I'm able to connect a LG DFGT driving wheel to my xbox 360. There I need a DIY usb cable, usb to serial.
And I'm using Odroid. Arm based like RPi, but there's some little differences. Example the UART line is 1,8V

So my question is, is it even possible to use Odroid for this purposes? And if it is, then I might need the "voltage divider" mentioned in the RPi guide: https://gimx.fr/wiki/index.php?title=RPi =

Thank you for your help! :)

1.8V is probably too low. The atmega32u4 may not consider it as a high level. An active logic level converter is probably required.
