nRF51-DK virtual drive disable

Hello.

I use nRF51-DK and need to avoid appearing of the virtual drive during connection to PC (it's confusing my customers). So, I want a behavior as an old PCA10001: when connect to PC, virtual UART appears, but virtual drive - do not.

Is there a way for this?

Thanks in advance.

  • Unfortunately not - that would actually be quite a useful feature in general as you often need to unplug or reset the device during a debug session and get the "The JLINK device was not ejected properly .. " dialog box every time which gets old very quickly. The MSC device is also pretty flaky on OSX, disconnects randomly and occasionally hangs up the whole system until the USB times out.

    It would be handy to be able to boot into bootloader mode, which could always make a drive appear, where you could touch or remove a file to turn the normal drive mode on and off. Perhaps someone could suggest that to Segger.

  • Thanks for your answer. So, seems I need to add some info to the user manual for my customers. Something like "don't matter about the new drive in your My Computer dialog - it's not a bug, it's a feature"... :)

  • Well yes - if you're shipping to your customers using that pre-built dev board. Of course if you got to the point of manufacturing your own, that's no-longer an issue, you could put whatever ports on it you liked.
