using USB as a virtual COM port

[Belenie]

Hi,

My customer is trying to use both UART peripherals on the IC and have VCP on the USB, for a total of 3 “UARTs/COM ports”.

Can the USB be instantiated for VCP?  if they do this, will it use a UART to instantiate the VCP?

Thanks,

Belenie

Hi,

Can the USB be instantiated for VCP? 

Yes. See USB samples, and specifically the CDC ACM samples here.

if they do this, will it use a UART to instantiate the VCP?

No, the UART peripheral will be free for other things.
