Whic Keil compiler edition for nrf52840 usb cdc acm?

[cristian.anceschi]

Hi All

Just bought a nRF52840-DK board (PCA10056) with the purpose to develop a project where nRF52840 is used as virtual com port.

The Lite edition doesn't allow to compile the USBD_CDC_ACM example due to the 32KB size limitation.

Which edition of Keil compiler is required to develop this kind of project? Is the Essential suitable for this or is required the Plus?

This means, is the Middleware required (IPv4 Network, USB Device, File System, Graphics)?

I also tried to have a look on the Keil webpage without working out on this

Thanks in advance for your support

Cristian

No, it is not required.

OK, many thanks.

Have you considered using Segger Embedded Studio (SES) instead?

All recent SDK deliveries come with SES support, there is no size limit, and a free commercial license is available when developing with nRF devices.
