usbd_ble_uart usb cannot run on win7

[john.liu]

Hi:

There is no driver on win7 using nRF5_SDK_17.1.0_ddde560\examples\peripheral\usbd_ble_uart example.

I tried to use nRF5_SDK_17.1.0_ddde560\examples\usb_drivers, but failed.

Hi,

Note that for new projects we highly recommend using nRF Connect SDK, as that is our SDK going forward. nRF5 SDK is in maintenance mode, which means there will not be new features or support for new devices. See our nRF Connect SDK and nRF5 SDK statement for details.

In order to test the example from nRF5 SDK using Windows 7, please redo the installation according to the following steps:

If you are running Windows 7, on first run CDC ACM driver installation is needed. To install the driver on Windows 7, follow these steps:

• Open Device Manager

• Right-click the development kit (look for the name "nRF52 ..." depending on the example)

• Click "Update Driver Software..."

• Click "Browse my computer for driver software"

• Click "Browse..." and choose the folder sdk/nrf5/examples/usb_drivers

• Click "Ok"

• Click "Next"

• Click "Install"

• Click "Close"

You may have to restart your computer as well.

If it still fails:

In what way does it fail?

Can you describe in detail what you do? Including which connector on the DK is connected to the USB, and what COM port the DK is appearing on.

Can you describe in detail what you see, including warnings and error messages?
