Hello,
I am using NRF BLE sniffer with Wireshark on Linux and MakerDiary NRF52840 USB dongle. The firmware version is reported as "3.6" (ttyACM0-3.6) and software is 4.1.1.
With Wireshark everything works great - but when I wrote small application for a cusom analysis (based on the provided example_linux.py) things went a bit not as expected.
My BLE devices send "extended advertising" packets (PDU type=7 or AUX_ADV_IND in WireShark) - containing "short name" and "manufacturer data" fields. These packets appear as expected in Wireshark - but in my progtram they are completely missed by the sniffer. Moreover - when I kiled Wireshark and launched my program w/o pulling out the stick - suddenly the packets appeared in a log, causing me to think that I miss some configuration WoreShark does to the sniffer.
Please advise
ports = UART.find_sniffer()
if len(ports) > 0:
# Initialize the sniffer on the first port found with baudrate 1000000.
# If you are using an old firmware version <= 2.0.0, simply remove the baudrate parameter here.
sniffer = Sniffer.Sniffer(portnum=ports[0], baudrate=1000000)
sniffer.setAdvHopSequence([37, 38, 39])
sniffer.setSupportedProtocolVersion(3)
else:
print("No sniffers found!")
return
# Start the sniffer module. This call is mandatory.
sniffer.start()
while True:
time.sleep(0.1)
packets = sniffer.getPackets()
for p in packets:
if p.blePacket != None:
if p.blePacket.name != "\"\"":
print (p.blePacket.name)
