Hi, I'm using a 8051 MCU which comes with a USB dongle. My question is "How can I configure the USB to be read as a COM port?" Has anyone done it before? All I know is that I need to configure the USB as a Communication Class Device but how do I go about doing it? Any help is very much appreciated.
It does look as though Nordic are targetting this chip purely at HID application - so it's probably not that they have "no idea", but rather that it's not their intention for this chip.
It looks like the firmware you get is HID, so if you want something else, you will have to write it yourself - it's not just a question of configuration.
If this device and the supplied firmaware doesn't meet your requirements, it might be better to seek a more appropriate device?
Perhaps you could just use a USB-to-serial adaptor on the UART...?
I am trying to create an embedded system to pair with mobile phones and PDAs so USB-to-serial adaptor is not possible.
So why did you choose this chip?
Doesn't sound like this is the application that it's designed for!
Have you explained your requirement to Nordic, and asked if they have something more suitable?
Have you looked elsewhere for something that (more) directly meets your requirements?
Because this chip has been tested to have very low power consumption and has a RF+MCU-in-one chip.
I will be re-writing the firmware myself. Chinzei Tsuneo's links have given been some help. Thank you to everyone else who have contributed with their replies :)

Hi Lionel, have you had any success in porting the CDC code ? I got the Nordic nRF24LU1 SDK/EVKIT a few days ago and was very dissapoined with the S/W support.
I too need to port a CDC Driver .... HID is no good for me.
