nRF sniffer(1.0.1) only shows advertisements

Dear team,

Our customer using "nRF51422 Development KiT8PCA10028)" with "ble-sniffer_nRF51822_1.0.1_1111_Sniffer.hex".

They can check advertising packets, but, they cannot check other packets. They confirmed by a production that 2 devices are communicating.

We know this phenomenon to have been improved in 0.9.6.

Is special setting somewhat necessary to get a packet besides the advertising packet?

Best Regards,

Parents
  • Dear Mr.Petter,

    Thank you for your support.

    Our customer tried to the way by which mentioning was in developer zone as below.

    1.Start the sniffer 2.Put the slave/peripheral into advertising mode 3.Put the master/central into scanning mode (listening for broadcasts)

    However, unfortunetely, result didn't change.

    They executed the following steps. Would you please check and tell me any advices? step a) A pairing of Central (PC) and a peripheral device is released. After that Bluetooth of PC setting is turned off to make them suspend Central's (PC) scan. step b) They executed Sniffer. After that they started Wireshark by using with "w" key. * It's suitable for a procedure of the above 1. After starting, the state of Wireshark was changed into the packet capture state automatically. step c) The peripheral device is changed to a pairing mode and it's done in the advertising state. * It's suitable for a procedure of above 2. step d) Turn on the Bluetooth in Central(PC) setting and scan is begun. * It's suitable for a procedure of above 3. A peripheral device is chosen in a PC and executed a pairing. step e) After pairing completion, a packet of the user definition (data of a HOGP profile) is sent from a device. But this data can't be captured.
