Can't get "usbd_cdc_acm" example working on the MDK USB Dongle

[aeozyalcin]

Hello!

I am trying to get virtual COM port working on the MDK USB dongle in hopes of using this feature in a more involved project to provide debug info.

I am trying to compile and get the USBD_CDC_ACM example working, my understanding is that this example creates a virtual comport over USB, and allows the nRF52840 to talk to the host PC via serial.

I tried getting this example working 2 different ways, but neither one worked.

• I tried building the Nordic example from scratch as it was provided in the 15.0 SDK. I got the example to compile and build fine, but when I flash it to the dongle, I don't see a COM port opened on my host PC (Windows 10).
• I built the example that's already provided in the nrf52840-mdk repository, and flashed it to the dongle. Only change I had to was in the linker file, to move the flash start position from 0x0 to 0x1000., which I also had to do for the first method. I had the same result as before, the device did not enumerate as a COM port on my host pc.

@caizelin I hope you can help out here! Thank you to everyone in advance!

nRF5 SDK is migrated to nRF Connect SDK. You can try the hello world sample that using USB CDC ACM to print message: https://wiki.makerdiary.com/nrf52840-mdk-usb-dongle/guides/ncs/samples/hello_world/ Will close for now, and if you still have any question, please consider re-opening it.
