Serial Port profile for BLE device

Correct, it only creates a virtual comp port on the usb side, which is not directly tied to the BLE connection. So Bluetooth classic might be the best alternative if this is a requirement.

That said, this would be possible if you can connect the computer to a 52 kit (or custom 52 board with serial vcom support) instead of using built-in BLE HW. Note that we also have a central example for the same: Nordic UART Service Client example

Hello, thank you for your quick reply! I am using this example but, if I am getting it right, it is only creating a virtual com port on the usb side (in my case the pc connected to the Dev kit). What I want is to assign a virtual com port to the laptop that is paired with the bluetooth device. The advertising name in this example is Nordic_uart, my laptop finds it and connection is established successfully but no serial port is assigned to it.

You can try the UART/Serial Port Emulation over BLE example for this. The on-board segger jlink lite will provide the virtual com port interface (UART <->USB bridge).
