Hi,
When I build CLI sample in nRF_Connect_SDK, I don't get any USB port for CLI.
I believe the sample is in default mode built for UART.
How to build this for USB, so that I can run my CLI on USB port for nrf52840_dongle.
I have removed my existing build folder and rebuild the application with the command "west build -b nrf52840dongle_nrf52840 -d build_nrf52840dongle_nrf52840 -- -DOVERLAY_CONFIG=overlay-usb.conf -DDTC_OVERLAY_FILE=usb.overlay"
It got successfully built.
➜ cli git:(cfedfdfa0) ✗ west build -b nrf52840dongle_nrf52840 -d build_nrf52840dongle_nrf52840 -- -DOVERLAY_CONFIG=overlay-usb.conf -DDTC_OVERLAY_FILE=usb.overlay

Yes, to flash the nrf52840_dongle I am using a tag connector and nrf52840dk_board as programmer.
I erased my existing nrf52840 dongle with "nrfjprog -e", and reflashed it using "west flash"
The following command appeared on flash:

Hi,
Are you able to test with another computer to see if that one is able to see your dongle?
Do you know whether the program was flashed successfully or not? Can you try flashing the Blinky sample and see if the LED starts to blink as expected?
Best regards,
Marte
