PCA10000 USB interfaces

When I plug the PCA10000 into my mac I can see it presents 3 USB interfaces. The first is interface class 0x02, Communication Control, the second is 0x0a, which is Communication Data and the third is 0xff, a vendor-specific one. The third I assume is the segger interface, is there any documentation on what the first and second interfaces are and how to use them? I've looked and can find the board circuit diagram only.

Edit. I can figure out they are something to do with generic serial data (although the driver on OSX doesn't appear to work very well) it's more a question of how to send data to and from the PCA10000 using them. Where do they appear on the device that I can program?

  • As you can see in the UART chapter in the kit User Guide, the Segger chip includes a USB-to-UART CDC interface. This interface is connected to the nRF51822's UART, and can hence be used to transmit UART data between the nRF51822 and the PC.

    I don't have a lot of experience with OS X, but as far as I've seen on Linux, this works fine also on other OS's than Windows.
