Hello

Im DJ

I'm trying to test BLE sniffer by buying nRF52840 dongle USB. Looking at the guide,

https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/Development-tools/nrf-sniffer-for-bluetooth-le/download#infotabs

It says you can download sniffer firmware if you connect to the link, but when you connect to the link, it says,

"The page you're looking for can't be found."

Please tell me how I can download nRF52840 dongle sniffer firmware.

Thank you.

Regards.

Hi ,

I downloaded and checked the nRF_Sniffer_BLE_UG_v4.0.pdf document you guided me.

Chapter 2 on page 6 guides you that you can download nRF sniffer for Bluetooth LEV4.x~ links.

However, there is no firmware available to download ("I can't find the page I found").

Please let me know the link to download nRF52840 dongle sniffer Firmware

 

Thank you

Regards.

Hi DJ, 
There is no hex file for the dongle as it doesn't have a debugger to flash it like normal DK. You need to flash the .zip file via DFU process. 

What you need to do is to use nRF Connect for Desktop -> Programmer Application. 
You need to switch the dongle to DFU bootloader mode (a red LED should lid) then use the .zip file and the Programmer Application to flash.

After putting dongle into DFU bootloader mode, I ran nRF Connect and selected zip file as shown in the capture screen below.

However, Write button is not enabled.
