How to setup a chain Linux->UART->GPIO_0 on de10-nano?

Hi, please help

Task:

I have a tft sensor screen which i want to communicate with the program running in Linux. They communicate via uart. The screen has 4 wires: gnd, 5v, rx, tx. The idea is to reroute uart from hps to fpga gpio pins to connect wires.

Problem:

I found a document an706, which describes a way how to do this. But i'am stuck on the step of assigning pins. I don't understand how to connect RX and TX to a certain GPIO_0 or GPIO_1 pins, which are FPGA pins, yes? Is it possible?

Thank you!
