The VCP (Virtual COM Port) is installed with the Nordic SDK and is part of the SEGGER drivers. It's not one of the common (Proflific, FTDI, etc.) drivers.

I was able to install the following driver on Windows 7, and using Tera Term to see nRF51822 prinff() output. http://mbed.org/handbook/Windows-serial-configuration

I have problem though: Have to disconnect and reconnect tera-term after hitting reset button :-(

PS. I think this is not specific to nRF51822-mKit but for overall mbed platform. (There no such usb serial driver specific only for nRF51822-mkit board)
