I have an FTDI USB to dual RS232 adapter for communication over UART. The nrfutil device command finds it in version 2.8.5 and below:
C:\Users\jkeller>nrfutil install device=2.8.5 --force
nrfutil-device already installed
Uninstalled nrfutil-device

Product Dual RS232
Ports COM49, vcom: 0
COM48, vcom: 1
Traits serialPorts, usb
FT3KVHRP
Product LC234X
Ports COM58
Traits serialPorts, usb
Supported devices found: 2
Starting with version 2.8.6 it doesn't find it anymore, but it still finds the other USB to RS232 adapter I have connected to my pc:
C:\Users\jkeller>nrfutil install device=2.8.6 --force nrfutil-device already installed Uninstalled nrfutil-device [00:00:08] ###### 100% [Install packages] Install packages C:\Users\jkeller>nrfutil device list FT3KVHRP Product LC234X Ports COM58 Traits usb, serialPorts Supported devices found: 1
The problem still persists in the current version 2.15.1 of the device command.
I have noticed this because the Direct Test Mode App doesn't show the dual RS232 adapter anymore, starting from version 2.5.0, where the nrfutil device command it uses was updated from version 2.6.4 to 2.10.2.
