nRF52840 Dongle Windows 10 driver

Hu Lao

Hi,

I'm using a nRF52840 Dongle with connectivity_4.1.1 in my workstation without problems. 

Recently, I deploy my custom application (using the dongle) to a new Windows 10 machine and the default drivers does not allow me to use the dongle. 

Please, may I know if there is a distribution for the driver (see picture below) without installing nRF Connect Desktop? 

Thanks

    Hi Karl,

    Thanks for your feedback. 

    Yes, I'm looking for the USB CDC ACM driver you refer. Thanks for the link.

    The screenshot I shared in the previous post come from the workstation where the application is working. In the new machine, the driver assigned/listed was different. I didn't take a screenshot; I remember was a driver from Windows.

    In other hand, I also expected the required driver came installed by default.

    I'm defining the deployment procedure and the results not match with the expectation, as you mentioned. Please, may I have if you have additional suggestions?

    Thanks,

    No problem at all, I am happy to hear that this was what you were looking for!

    I understand, thank you for clarifying.

    Yes, as far as I know all windows > 7 computers comes with the usb cdc acm driver, strange indeed..

    Please elaborate on how the deployment procedure does not match your expectations.
    If you would like to see the procedure for updating the windows driver, please see the "testing" section from the usbd cdc acm example documentation.

    Best regards,
    Karl

    Hi Karl,

    The deployment procedure (in my context) describes how to deploy the Software Application (that is using the Dongle) to a new machine. This include any third party tools, libraries or drivers required for the application. In this case, I didn't expect to have a driver installation for the USB CDC ACM device.

    Thanks

    Hi Karl,

    I tried to use the suggested driver but so far, the installation did not pass. 

    Below two procedures:

    1. Install suggested driver. Error during installation

    2. Install nRF Connect. 

    The test was performed in fresh new Windows 10 device. For the testing report purposes, a virtual machine was used. In both machines (real and virtual) the procedure and results are similars.

    The following video shows the installation of the usb cdc acm driver that is used in the nRF Connect Desktop application

    The following video shows the installation of nRF Connect

    As we could see from the results, Windows doesn't have the driver used by the Dongle.

    Based on this procedure, please, may you clarify where the issue is?

    Thanks

    Hello again,

    I am terribly sorry for my late reply to this - I have been out of office for some time now.

    By this, do you mean that updating the CDC ACM driver with the one supplied in SDK/examples/usb_drivers did not succeed?
    If this is correct, how did it fail?

    I see the issues you are experiencing in the VM's, but I also notice that you are downloading the master branch from the github.
    Please always download a tagged release from the repositories, and not the master branch.

    I was also under the impression that you would not like to download nRF Connect, but instead only wanted to include the CDC ACM driver in the deployment procedure - have I understood this correctly?

    Again, I am terribly sorry for the long delay in answering.
    I look forward to resolving this issue together!

    Best regards,
    Karl
