nRF52840 detection in LINUX PC

[Sridhar Jonnavittula]

Hi all,

What I need to do for detection of nRF52840 PDK as /dev/ttyUSB0 when connected to LINUX PC?

I have tried all serial examples but every one is detecting PDK as /dev/ttyACM0 after connecting USB to micro USB cable to J2 power source port near interface MCU.

Can any one help me understand this?

Thanks

Hi,

 

The segger IC (USB connection "J2") will always enumerate as a ACM device, as it is a USB com port emulator. It will also enumerate a mass storage device (/dev/sdX).

In order to enumerate the nRF52840 over USB, you need to connect to connect J3, also marked "nRF USB".

I see that you are using the PDK. Note that we do strongly recommend that you obtain the latest silicon version, which is revision 1. Engineering sample A workarounds for USB has been removed from the SDK from v15.

 

Kind regards,

Håkon
