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

Alex

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).

I get an error when I compile the usbd_cdc_acm example:

main.c:277:27: error: 'TX_PIN_NUMBER' undeclared (first use in this function);

uart_config.pseltxd = TX_PIN_NUMBER;

I updated the Makefile: BOARD_PCA10056 to BOARD_PCA10059.

I'm using SDK 15.3.

How did you get this example up and running on USB Dongle (PCA10059)?

Did you follow the instructions in the linked tutorial ?

Might be better to start your own thread - rather than hijack this one (which is marked as solved).
