How can I Identificate my nrf51822 device as a uart when I connect it to win8 with BLE？

[gootoomoon]

nrf51_sdk_v5_2_0_39364\nrf51822\Board\pca10001\s110\experimental\ble_app_uart

And I just find this device as a bluetooth device but can not find any new uart device under uart device list.

When it connect to Android device ,uart app works weel.

Hi,

The bluetooth low energy support in Win8 limits only to HID over GATT, to the ble_app_uart will not work out-of-the-box with windows' bluetooth 4.0 controller. The ble_app_uart will however work with the PCA10001 + MasterEmulator's nRFUART, normally located here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Nordic Semiconductor\Master Emulator\2.1.7.8226

You'll need to copy the .exe to the above folder in order for it to run.

Note: You will not get an UART device enumerated in windows, see this thread for more info: devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../is-there-a-serial-port-profile-for-ble
