Using usbd-cdc-acm in a nRF52840 dongle

[Masoumeh]

Hi, 

I am working on a project. we want to get data over BLE in dongle and send them to PC using USB since it has more speed. for the first step, I want to program the nRF USB protocol using usb-cdc-acm example. but when I change the boards definition to pca10059 I get this error:

compiling main.c...
..\..\..\main.c(280): error: #20: identifier "TX_PIN_NUMBER" is undefined
uart_config.pseltxd = TX_PIN_NUMBER;
..\..\..\main.c(281): error: #20: identifier "RX_PIN_NUMBER" is undefined
uart_config.pselrxd = RX_PIN_NUMBER;

I know I can declare them in pca10059.h file, but this does not help. I did it but nothing transferred over USB to the PC. I have some questions:

1. what is uart doing in this example and why it is important to declare RX and TX ins which are for uart? while I want to send data over USB?

2. is there any way to use the USB without needing uart? 

3. what kind of changes I have to do on the example to get the work done?

Hello,

The project has the CLI enabled on the UART transport, which you may disable as it's not required for the USB part of the example. I have made a 'pca10059' for SDK 17.0.2 that you may try, see attached.

Best regards,

Vidar
