RE: Virtual COM port detection

Check the usbd_cdc_acm example in the peripheral folder of SDK.

There are two event handlers that process USB port related actions(the first handler) and USB power and driver related actions (the second handler). I believe that this part will help you, If I got this right

static void cdc_acm_user_ev_handler(app_usbd_class_inst_t const * p_inst,
                                    app_usbd_cdc_acm_user_event_t event)
{
    app_usbd_cdc_acm_t const * p_cdc_acm = app_usbd_cdc_acm_class_get(p_inst);

    switch (event)
    {
        case APP_USBD_CDC_ACM_USER_EVT_PORT_OPEN:
        {
            bsp_board_led_on(LED_CDC_ACM_OPEN);

            /*Setup first transfer*/
            ret_code_t ret = app_usbd_cdc_acm_read(&m_app_cdc_acm,
                                                   m_rx_buffer,
                                                   READ_SIZE);
            UNUSED_VARIABLE(ret);
            break;
        }
        case APP_USBD_CDC_ACM_USER_EVT_PORT_CLOSE:
            bsp_board_led_off(LED_CDC_ACM_OPEN);
            break;
        case APP_USBD_CDC_ACM_USER_EVT_TX_DONE:
            bsp_board_led_invert(LED_CDC_ACM_TX);
            break;

                                            m_rx_buffer,
                                            READ_SIZE);
            } while (ret == NRF_SUCCESS);

            bsp_board_led_invert(LED_CDC_ACM_RX);
