Arduino opta lite problems with software serial

Hello everyone, I have started using arduino opta lite, but when I want to use the softwareserial library it gives me an error that it cannot find it, when I change the arduino model to another for example the uno, it compiles without any problem, someone else has happened? And I would really appreciate it if you could help me.

SoftwareSerial isn't available for the Opta platform. Usually you don't need a limited software emulation if you have a hardware that can make a hardware serial interface available on many pins. The Opta is meant to be used professionally and you won't use SoftwareSerial in a professional setup.

Thanks for your help, do you have an example of how to implement a serial interface in opta?

I don't have an Opta, so my information is purely theoretical.

According to the IDE's variant files the Serial2 object should be available on pins 5 (TX) and 6 (RX).
Serial3 is on pins 14 (TX) and 9 (RX).
Serial1 seems to be used to connect the WiFi chip.
