## Install nRF52/RP2040 USB to Serial Drivers
|
|
|
|
:::caution
|
|
|
|
nRF52/RP2040 devices typically do not require serial drivers. They use the UF2 bootloader which makes the devices appear as flash drives. Do _NOT_ download the USB device drivers unless required to install UF2 support.

2. Open the Terminal and run:
|
|
3. `sudo rm -rf /Library/Extensions/usbserial.kext`

After installing the driver, make sure to reboot your computer to finish the installation process.
