The STM Virtual COM Port (VCP) driver is a software component developed by STMicroelectronics that allows USB devices with STM32 microcontrollers to communicate with a Windows PC using a virtual COM port. These STM32-based devices often use USB for serial communication, and the VCP driver makes it appear as a regular COM port in Windows. This is useful for developers and users who need to interface with STM32 microcontroller-based devices (like development boards, embedded systems, or USB-to-serial adapters) via serial communication.
