nrf52dk not visible in capture devise in Wireshark

[Ludo]

Hi there,

I went through all the documentation and instructions in order to use my nRF52DK as a sniffer and I can not see it in the capture devices in wireshark.

am not too sure where to look next and I am very new to all this.

I flashed the board with what I think is the correct hex file 'nrf802154_sniffer_nrf5340dk.hex' (I can see a chip on the board saying n5340 so I assume that's the one).

I also ran the nrf802154_sniffer.py file and get the following result which seems to indicate that it's working:

extcap {version=0.8.0}{help=https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/nRF-Sniffer-for-802.15.4}{display=nRF Sniffer for 802.15.4}
control {number=6}{type=button}{role=logger}{display=Log}{tooltip=Show capture log}

My macOS is Sequoia 15.6.1

I am not sure what's the next step should be in order to see the nrf board visible in wireshark. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am happy to give more details or logs if that can help.

Thank you in advance

Hello,

Unfortunately, the nRF52832 on the nRF52DK does not support the modulation required for sniffing 802.15.4 packets. See https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ug_sniffer_802154/page/UG/sniffer_802154/intro_802154.html for supported boards.

I can see a chip on the board saying n5340 so I assume that's the one).

This is the interface MCU on the DK used for programming the nRF52832.

Best regards,

Vidar

Hi, Ok I see, I was pretty sure I read in multiple places it could be use for sniffing.

I have ordered the dongle and I  try it again when I have received it. 

Thank you for your answer.
