### 4.1 How to use USB virtual com
#### 4.1.1 Step 1
Enable USB device.
#### 4.1.2 Step 2
Enable USB Device Driver and enable to use device as CDC device.
#### 4.1.3 Step 3
Select VC (virtual console) software package.
#### 4.1.4 Step 4
Add these codes in main function which is located in 'Applications' folder, and don't forget to include `vconsole.h`.
```c
rt_device_tdev=rt_device_find("vcom");
vconsole_switch(dev);
```
#### 4.1.5 Step 5
Re-plug the USB cable and you will find a new serial (virtual com) device is found in your computer. If you reset or reboot the blue pill board, you still need to re-plug the USB cable.
