MSC example SDK17 on PCA10056 does not show up in disk manager on windows 10 or 11

[FCian]

Hi,

I'm using the example project usbd_msc and I am having no luck having the volume come up on windows when I plug in the nRF_USB line.  I can see "nRF52 USB MSC Demo" device in my Safely Remove Devices dialogue.  I can see a USB Mass Storage Device in my Device Manager.  But I don't get a volume under in Windows Explorer.

I'm using a PCA10056 V0.9.0 in SDK17.1.0.

I am not using the SD_card and have that set to zero.  I've tried with and without the QSPI memory chip.  I'm able to create files and and format the "disk" when using the QSPI, at least that is what the debug lines tell me.  I'm at a loss to why it isn't showing up as disk in windows 10 or 11.  I know it's old, but I've used it successfully before and my code base is based on the SDK not Zephyr.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

ian

Hi,

 

I'm using a PCA10056 V0.9.0 in SDK17.1.0.

This has engineering A silicon mounted on it, and will not work for development purposes:

I strongly recommend that you obtain a newer version of the DK.

Kind regards,

Håkon

Hi Håkon,

Thank you.  I'm glad it's something simple like that.  I bought a new one and I'm up and going again.  

Thank you for the help!
