nrf-sniffer command line coded-phy scanning not working

[ANI_MCI]

Hi,

I'm trying to scan for coded phy devices with the nrf-sniffer application.

Followed the guide and installed nrf-sniffer with the nrf-util.

In Wireshark it works fine to scan for coded-phy advertising packets but i'm facing some stability issues there (over longer captures), therefore I liked to try the command line.

If I use the following command I only get LE 1M advertising packets: .\nrfutil.exe ble-sniffer sniff --port COM31 --coded --only-advertising

I'm using a nRF52840-DK (PCA10065) with the latest sniffer from the nrf-util.

Am I missing something?

Best regards,

Alex

Hello Alex,

Let me run this by our nrfutil team. I will get back to you when I know more.

Hello,

It turns out that this is a bug in the sniffer command in nrfutil, where the --coded argument is not properly passed down to the nRF. Try starting the sniffer using Wireshark directly. You can press the cogwheel before you start sniffing, and it should give you some options to select coded phy packets:
