Any sample to drive nrf 52 dongle like a serial port

[Alex Co]

Hi

Any sample or known project that can transform nrf52 usb dongle and be driven through COM port?

Imagine a C program in Linux that opens the USB port where dongle is and then reads and writes commands in order to start scan, change mac address, etc

Thanks

Or use the USB CDC example ...

The USB CDC example in SDK 15 is unfortunately only available for nRF52840-DK(PCA10056), so I recommend to take a look at this tutorial on how to adapt the pca10056 examples to work on the dongle (in short, you need to change the preprocessor define BOARD_PCA10056 to BOARD_PCA10059 in the project).

No need to imagine - that program is called, "nRF Connect"

I have been using nrfConnect both in iOS and Linux using its interface.

Is it possible to drive it using a C compiled program?

That's what the pc-ble-driver gives you
