nrfutil on Raspberry Pi

[Anviori]

Hello,

I'm trying to find a way to run the nrfutil executable on a Raspberry Pi. None of the available downloads here https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/Development-tools/nRF-Util/Download?lang=en#infotabs work for that architecture (aarch64 - Cortex-A72). Is there another source available that I can use, or could you possibly provide a version compiled for that architecture?

It does not need to be the latest version. I just need to be able to use the ble-sniffer command that it provides. I need a way to sniff BLE packets via CLI and nrfutil seems to be the only way to do that and allows for filtering of devices directly.

Thank you

Hi 

Can you try setting it to address type, or potentially try passing the address type explicitly, I.E.

"--follow "3d:8f:94:ce:f2:76 random"

We don't specifically only support random address types, but the --follow command assumes the address type being random as that's the most common address type. Have you tried doing this t exact same thing in Wireshark on your end?

Best regards,

Simon

So, tried the following:

nrfutil ble-sniffer sniff --follow "xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx public" --port /dev/tty.usbmodem2101

Same behavior.

I tried: nrfutil ble-sniffer sniff --follow "xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx random" --port /dev/tty.usbmodem2101

Similar behavior. There is some output (see attached); but not the device that I added for --follow.20240103-T163450.170214000UTC-capture.pcap

Wireshark is what I've been using, yes. Using this plugin: https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp?topic=%2Fug_sniffer_ble%2FUG%2Fsniffer_ble%2Finstalling_sniffer_plugin.html; but I just wanted a solution that would work for the CLI.

Is there any way to capture logs of what's happening with the FW, so I can share with you?
