Programming the nRF Sniffer firmware to the nRF52840 dongle using the "nrfutil device" command

Good day,

I am trying to program the nRF Sniiffer firmware to my nRF52840 dongle using the "nrfutil device program" command.

According to the User Guide v3.2 for the nRF Sniffer for Bluetooth LE, I need to locate the relevant firmware hex file for my nRF52840 dongle and this file should be: "sniffer_nrf52840dongle_nrf52840_x.hex" and it should be located in the Sniffer_Sftware/hex  directory.

However, the only three hex firmware files located in the sniffer_software directory and in the "\Firmware" subdirectory on my PC are:

1. sniffer_nrf52dk_nrf52832_4.1.1.hex

2. sniffer_nrf52833dk_nrf53833_4.1.1.hex

3. sniffer_nrf52840dk_nrf52840_4.1.1.hex

as can be seen on the attached screenshot_1.

There is also a subdirectory: "sniffer_nrf52840dongle_nrf52840_4.1.1" in the above mentioned subdirectory: "\Firmware" and there are only three files in that subdirectory, namely:

1. manifest.json

2. sniffer_nrf52840dongle_nrf52840_4.1.1.bin

3. sniffer_nrf52840dongle_nrf52840_4.1.1.dat

but there are no hex files in that subdirectory, as can be seen on the attached screenshot_2.

When I tried to use the "sniffer_nrf52840dongle_nrf52840_4.1.1.bin" file instead of a hex file in the command: "nrfutil device program", the following error message came up:

" ERROR One or more program tasks failed: [sdfu] Firmware file extension .bin is not supported (Argument)", as can be seen on the attached screenshot_3.

Where will I find the hex firmware file that is required to program the nRF Sniffer firmware into my nRF52840 dongle, using the "nrfutil device program" command?

Regards,

JM
