The LPC11u24 only has a single UART.

one is p9.p10 then another is with usb right? i am asking how to use USBRX,USBTX in pin mode

You cannot easily access those pins on the normal mbed. However more important, it actually only has one UART. That UART can be connected to p9/p10, or to USBTX, USBRX. But in the end it is one and the same UART, so you cannot use both at the same time.

Options are: Making an UART in software (not as efficient, but can be used with any pin), or use for example an I2C to UART converter IC.
