nordic cdc acm usb driver

[Deepa Gopinath]

Hi,

I'm using Nordic SDK version - nRF5_SDK_14.2.0_17b948a and Dev Board - PCA10056 V0.9.0 2017.10 - 683871638

USB serial driver is not detected on Windows 8.1 Pro while testing usbd_cdc_acm example. When I test the same example on Windows 10.0 Pro USB driver got installed automatically, I can able to detect USB Serial driver. After that USB CDC ACM example is working fine.

I have tried updating the nordic_cdc_acm_example on window8.1 pro but Windows protest that it is not compatible with the device and prompts me to check if it is designed to work with Windows x64 based systems.

Can you please help us how can I fix this USB driver issue on Windows 8.1 Pro?

Thanks in Advance

Regards,

Deepa

Hi Deepa,

In the example folder you have nordic_cdc_acm_example.inf. Please right click it and then select Install. I think this has worked for many OSes, hopefully will work for Windows 8.1 too.

Hi Aryan,

I have tried updating the nordic_cdc_acm_example.inf (as part pf example folder) on window8.1 pro but Windows protest that it is not compatible with the device and prompts me to check if it is designed to work with Windows x64 based systems. 

Can you please share the nordic_cdc_acm_example setup information file for windows 8.1 Pro so that I will try to install manually?

Thanks in Advance!!

Hi Deepa,

according to this it should be automatically installed .. not sure what went wrong. But when you manually install it can you put a snapshot of the error that windows is throwing? if it is just a warning, can you continue even with a warning to see if it works.
