Nordic development Academy Lesson 3 Exercise 1 - How to connect to RTT when no COM ports listed.

Exercise 1 – Nordic Developer Academy (nordicsemi.com)

My nRF5340DK does not have COM Ports listed, only RTT. How do I connect with RTT using PuTTY or similar to display the Hello World! message please?

It might be a good idea to update the course to specify what to do.

[Turbo J]

Use the "Jlink configurator" application in the SEGGER program group to enable the VCOM ports.

I verified in Device Manager that I have COM22 and COM23 available. Without changing the prj.conf file, I then see the Hello World! messages displayed when I set PuTTY to COM23 115200 baud.

Alternatively, if I do modify the prj.conf file to redirect the UART output to RTT, using the RTT Viewer now displays the Hello World! messages.

Case solved, thanks very much.

Kind regards,
