Legacy BLE Sniffer Software nRF52

[SimonF0]

Is it possible to be able to get hold of some of the legacy software for the nRF52 BLE sniffer that works off the old nRF Command Line Tool rather than the nRFutil?  As I'm having issues around Wireshark integration with 'BLE Logger' coming up instead of 'BLE Sniffer' in capture.  We've just moved over to a new computer and the latest nRF Sniffer seems to be what's causing us the issue.

Hi,

The old sniffer software is no longer available. It would be interesting to look at the problem you have with the new software, though. Can you try to delete the content of your personal extcap folder and bootstrap it again? See Installing nRF Util plugins for details.

The problem we were having is that the BLE logger kept coming up as a COM port instead of the BLE Sniffer.  We use a python script to automate the test which opens up Wireshark, looks for the BLE Sniffer in the COM ports and then runs the BLE Sniffer in Wireshark to get an RSSI value.

OK, I see. I see you got hold of the installer so it is solved for now, but in case you want to digg deeper it would be interesting to know more about how you reproduce this.

Note that once the DK has been programmed with the sniffer firmware, you need to connect to the nRF USB port on the bottom side, and not use the IMCU USB port on the left side (this can be left disconnected).
