Coded PHY on BLE sniffer not working for nrfutil Ubuntu Server command line

[matt.nickels]

I've then tried both the command "nrfutil ble-sniffer sniff --port /dev/ttyACM0 --coded" as well as "nrfutil ble-sniffer sniff --port /dev/ttyACM0 --coded --scan-follow-aux --scan-follow-aux-chain --scan-follow-aux-rsp" but I cannot see any Coded PHY advertising packets in the resulting Wireshark .pcap file. I only see a bunch of 1M advertisements from the surroundings.

System info.  Ubuntu Server 22.04

Sniffer Firmware is 4.1.1.hex

Hi,

There has been changes in Wireshark after the last release of the nRF Sniffer. I suggest workign aroudn the issue as described in this post for now.

[Emil Lenngren]

But sniffing using the command line does not use Wireshark, right? So that answer should not be relevant if I understand correctly.

Hi,

Ah, yes, you are right. I do not have a solution for that now but have forwarded it internally. I cannot say when this will be fixed, though.

[matt.nickels]

Any update on this Bug?

[Einar Thorsrud]

Hi,

Not yet, unfortunately. Also, I do not expect any update soon. If you need more precise information on the timeline, please contact sales.
