PCA10056 + external SWD (debug out P19) and external UART to Virtual COM port

Hi Devzone. 

I have a PCA10056 that I'm using to set up for CI / HIL testing, using an external nRF52840 on another PCB.

  • The external SWD on P19 is working perfectly.
    • I am able to flash and debug the external nRF52. 
  • I'm trying to connect the external nRF52 UART to RXD/P0.08 and TXD/P0.06 for scripting, without HW flow control. 
    • The interface MCU does not seem to be routing the UART traffic to USB CDC
    • I can verify my UART signal on TP2 / IMCU_RxD, so IF_OFF seems to be set correctly. 

I tried a few things, such as flipping SW6, but that causes my USB CDC to drop out. 
SW7 does not seem to affect anything either. 

When I use the on board nRF52840, the virtual COM port does function. 
So this is strictly a problem when trying to inject the external UART to the virtual COM port.
