<li><p>MinGW on Windows uses the format <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ttyS&lt;N&gt;</span></code>, where <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">N</span></code> is a
number. You must map the port name to a Windows COM port:
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/dev/ttyS&lt;N&gt;</span></code> maps to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">COM&lt;N+1&gt;</span></code>. For example, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/dev/ttyS2</span></code>
maps to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">COM3</span></code>.</p>
<p>You can also use the Windows Device Manager to find the COM port
number.</p>

<p>Setup a newtmgr connection profile for the serial port. For our example,
the port is <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/dev/tty.usbserial-1d11</span></code>.</p>
<p>Run the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">newtmgr</span> <span class="pre">conn</span> <span class="pre">add</span></code> command to define a newtmgr connection
profile for the serial port. We name the connection profile
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">nrf52serial</span></code>.</p>
<p><strong>Note</strong>:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>You will need to replace the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">connstring</span></code> with the specific port
for your serial connection.</p></li>
<li><p>On Windows, you must specify <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">COM&lt;N+1&gt;</span></code> for the connstring if
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/dev/ttyS&lt;N&gt;</span></code> is the serial port.</p></li>
