USB over Console not working on custom board

Hello 
im using basic usb over console exaple on my custom board .
i believe this task wont require any pins to be configured as my custom board is routed properly to all 4 pins required for USB 

But i dont see any new serial com port when i flash this example to my custom board 

this is my overlay file 

/ {
	chosen {
		zephyr,console = &cdc_acm_uart0;
	};
};

&zephyr_udc0 {
	cdc_acm_uart0: cdc_acm_uart0 {
		compatible = "zephyr,cdc-acm-uart";
	};
};

my prj config file is this 

CONFIG_USB_DEVICE_STACK=y
CONFIG_USB_DEVICE_PRODUCT="Zephyr USB console sample"
CONFIG_USB_DEVICE_PID=0x0004
CONFIG_USB_DEVICE_INITIALIZE_AT_BOOT=n


CONFIG_UART_LINE_CTRL=y


CONFIG_USB_CDC_ACM=y

this is my dtsfile

i invoke the device using same get device command that this example has 
still i cant see any serial port 
please help

  • Hi,

    Which NCS version do you use?

    Could you provide a link to the sample which you use?

    Best regards,
    Dejan

  • Hello Dejan

    I am having a very tough time regarding this issue .

    I am using sdk 2.6.0 but now I have downgraded to 2.3.0

    same with tool chain .

    sample I use is , zephyr/samples/subsys/usb/console

    please help ,

    after your valuable feedback please answer X1

    X1-  If we upgrade on sdk will the way of using samples also changes ?

  • Hi sir   waiting for your reply .

    I have a custom board that has a USB port .

    i use J-Link which has vdd, swdio,swdclk ,reset, and ground wires that connect to custom board .

    also another nordic product we work on has NO USB port , only a jlink connecter to flash the firmware .

    please tell me how i can see logs/traces on both of these devices/custom boards 

  • Hi,

    There is an unofficial hello_world_usb sample which demonstrates how to use CDC ACM USB for logging. Can you try it out?

    Best regards,
    Dejan

  • HI  thanks for the example , we workred it out it works fine on bare device without any external spi flash configured .

    our custom board uses external flash for littleFS . so when we use this usb console with the flash and littleFS configuration , we have failed to use usb again, means we dont see any COM port of USB when we flash the code.

    Any idea what might be causing this ?

    my device tree looks like this

    and main file and overlay file is same as example you provided in previous comment .

    please let me know what i am missing .

  • Hi,

    Do you use static partitioning or partition manager? If you use static partitioning, you can look at this pm_static.yml and app.overlay example. If you use partition manager, you can look at external flash memory partitions in the documentation. You can also have a look at this blogpost which shows external flash configuration and overlay.

    Do you get any errors when using USB console sample with LittleFS and external flash?

    Best regards,
    Dejan
