[hiteshk014]

We are looking for BLE Mesh Sniffer,

it has come to our notice nordic provides nrf sniffer. can we sniff BLE Mesh Packet?

Will this mentioned link sniffer be of any use if we want to sniff BLE Mesh packet - nRF Sniffer for Bluetooth LE User Guide v4.0.0 (https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/nrfutil_ble_sniffer_pdf/resource/nRF_Sniffer_BLE_UG_v4.0.0.pdf)

We're using nRF connect SDK having Zephyr RTOS

If this can't be of any use for sniffing BLE Mesh packet, please share the exact product details of BLE Mesh sniffer

Thank you,

Regards,

I'm sorry, we do not offer a sniffer solution for BLE Mesh based on PC/desktop. You can use a dedicated sniffer like the ones Ellisys provide to scan the whole band, including BLE Mesh, although these are quite pricy.

UPDATE: I got an update today by one of our developers, that you can indeed use the nRF Sniffer firmware for Bluetooth LE to do simple BLE mesh sniffing actions, as the BLE Mesh packets are sent on the advertisement channels, which the Sniffer firmware is able to pick up and format on Wireshark. I'm very sorry about the confusion. Other DevZone users have done this with success in the past, for example in this DevZone ticket: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/32439/nrf52-sniffer-for-mesh/153181
