Is there a Windows driver for the nRF52840 USB CDC ACM?

Hi

I'm trying to use the nRF52840 USB Serial UART device (aka USB CDC ACM) however I can't find a Windows driver for this device

The VID is 0x1915 and the PID is 0x520F

I've looked in all the development files listed for the nRF52840 PDK www.nordicsemi.com/.../nRF52840-Preview-DK

But I can't find a driver.

I've tried forcing a CDC ACM driver using libwdi, but although the board then appears as a serial device, I can't see any data from the board, so I presume that method is not valid as it may be a composite device and i need a more complex install method (or the official driver)

  • For me the matter is unsolved also when using latest SDK 13.1. OS is W10. Serial port is installed automatically by using W10 standard driver (usbser.inf). There is a message in the properties event window (device manager/serial ports) saying that more installation has to be done - maybe not important because W10 basically confirms functionality. Nevertheless data exchange is not possible. The .inf file delivered by Nordic is not accepted - W10 misses a digital signature. Could there be an uncomplete set of information inside the USB description records?

    I also want to ask for the present state in managing the VID/PID for users of Nordic chips. The typical procedure is that we can use Nordic's VID but will get one or some unique PID's by the vendor.
