CC2531 ZID Dongle + Virtual Serial COM Port via Class CDC

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2531, CC2530, REMOTI

I have a CC2531 dongle programmed as a ZID Dongle which receives packets via RF4CE from a remote control (which uses a CC2530). The dongle can manage a USB Report to "emulate" consumer electronics, keyboard and mouse devices. All works perfectly.

Now, I also want to access specific data via virtual serial COM port. I know that is possible to create a virtual COM using the CDC Class - I programmed the dongle with the 'rf_modem' application attaining successful results, however I have some difficults to merge those 'algorithms' with ZID Dongle project.

Anyone can help with it?

  • Hi,

    The dongle can only enumerate with one driver at a time. We have different projects for the different options. The ZID Dongle project is using the HID driver, while the RNP (RemoTI Network Processor) project (for CC2531) is using the CDC driver.

    There are more differences between the two though. The ZID Dongle project includes the application layer. For example it has a key scanner to enable pairing with the push of a button. It also configures and initializes the stack. The RNP project is simply a Network Processor. It requires a host, like Target Emulator on windows or RemoTI-Linux on Linux.
