I have an nrf52 board I was able to connect to board via USB. I downloaded a hardware profile to check the functionality and the device acted like a BLE and I was able to communicate with it. But someone said to implement UART on the device now i am clueless about what this is?
there is this nordic toolbox which has UART example but my board won't connect to this why is that?
I wish this NRFtoolbox UART connects to my board how is that achievable?
it will not connect using standard configuration because in this mode it uses pin 5/6 for tx/rx as i remember, and these pins are connected to internal modem, you can not exchange data on these pins. I would suggest to use pins 2/3 for tx/rx.

I have Raspberry Pi 3 plate with connected USB to UART (COM) converter.
The power led on the USB stick is ON.
I can not find the converter in Windows Device Portal.
In both: connected and disconnected states I see just two UART related records in Device Manager:
(ID:ACPI\BCM2835\0, Class:System, Manufacturer:Microsoft, StatusCode:25165834)
>BCM283x Mini UART Serial Device
(ID:ACPI\BCM2836\0, Class:Ports, Manufacturer:Microsoft, StatusCode:25182218)
>ARM PL011 UART Device Driver
(ID:ACPI\BCM2837\4, Class:System, Manufacturer:Microsoft, StatusCode:25165834)
Also I use git diff between saved device lists and there is no difference between the case I connect USB stick and disconnect it.
Where can I see the device in the list?
UPDATE
Here I print all found devices:
First you need make sure your USB to UART (COM) converter is supported on Windows IoT Core. Please check the hardware compatibility list. The CP2102 USB 2.0 to TTL Module Serial Converter is supported.
I use CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Converter and it also works. Use the SerialUART sample can list two device: one is on-board PL011 UART Device and the other is mine.
From device portal:
I have a GSM LTE evaluation board which contains a USB slave device port and a evaluation board for microcontroller which also contains USB slave device.
I want to send commands to GSM module using the controller boards through USB.
After browsing couple of hours on internet i didn't find anything helpful.
My question is that is there any possible way to communicate two USB slave device??
Any help is appreciated...
Thank you in advance
Two USB devices cannot communicate directly one to another. Unless they support OTG. In most cases it is needed USB host controller between those two USB devices to provide some kind of link between them.
this is a more HW question. I was wondering, is someone aware of a device which enables to connect a USB device to a PC over WiFi?
The idea is to plug USB device into a transmitter and have a receiver at the PC side. The data would be transferred wirelessy.
I have learned that the key word for this type of devices is WUSB. However, I am failing to find a successfully stories behind using some of these, as well as a good device.
Does someone have an experience?
Thank you in advance.
I haven't seen any USB hubs that can transmit over Wi-Fi. But there are several Wireless Hubs available. Like these

They have an adapter you plug into the PC and the hub works just like it would if it were wired.
Why do you need it to transmit over Wi-Fi specifically?
I want to connect a USB peripherals to a FPGA. Basically FPGA should act like an USB host. Is there a FPGA board support a USB hub so that one could connect multiple(upto 4) USB peripherals at a time.
I have a Digilent Nexys3 fpga which is based on Spartan 6. It supports only one USB device (keyboard or mouse). It doesn't support a hub. I have found Cypress host controllers, but I am not sure how to use it in a FPGA.
You need to have a USB host controller inside your FPGA, such IP is not freely available, one alternative is to use a Zynq based (for Xilinx) or Cyclone V based (for Altera) board. Those have integrated USB controllers connected to their dual ARM core.
You can find more info about those at:
Altera Cyclone V
Xilinx Zynq
You maybe able to use an external host controller but then you have to connect it to your FPGA and that is usually requires a lot of IOs and those modules are more expensive than buying a Zed board ($395) or Cyclone V board ($450).
The Arduino Nano (and other models) has a USB Connector on the pcb.
Can a Arduino Application (Code inside the loop() Function) communicate to a PC/Mac over the built in USB Channel?
The board at the link you posted uses an FTDI USB to UART chip; the ATMega168 itself has no USB controller. The UART side of the FTDI chip is attached to the ATMega168's RXD/TXD UART pins. So from the point of view of the Arduino code, you are just communicating with a UART driven serial port.
From the PC end, the FTDI chip uses the USBSER.SYS driver to emulate a legacy UART serial port (A Virtual COM Port or VCP). You will be able to see this and which COM port it has been assigned to in Device Manager.
So in essence all you need to know is how to do serial port programming on both the PC and the Arduino and you are good to go.
This is how I have done it. You also need to write a program to your computer - for POSIX-compilant OSes, this one could help you out.
