Laird BL654 USB module UART 451-00004

[Liam]

Is it possible to get access the virtual com port from an application based on nRF5-SDK-for-Thread-and-Zigbee?

My application requires nothing more than the LED and the TX and RX lines.

kind regards

Liam

Hi,

Is this for a new project or an existing device? Please note that the nRF5 SDK for Thread and Zigbee is deprecated, and you will not be able to certify new Zigbee products with this. The recommended SDK for new projects is the nRF Connect SDK.

It should be possible to access the COM port using USB CDC ACM.

Best regards,
Marte

Sorry Marte did not see your answer.

It would be a new product but it uses just 802.15.4 not Zigbee.

The reason we have stuck with Thread and Zigbee is because we could not get multi protocol (BT and 802.15.4) working with nRF Connect SDK

Hi Liam,

If you are using the nRF5 SDK, then I recommend looking at the USB CDC ACM Example, as this shows how to access the virtual COM port using USB CDC ACM. Please note that this sample is in the regular nRF5 SDK and not in the nRF5 SDK for Thread and Zigbee, but you should be able to implement this in the latter as well.

Best regards,
Marte
