Sniffer not working PCA10000-PCA10001

[hakki goceoglu]

I have been trying nrf-sniffer with no success. Setup is:

Win7 64, Sniffer Win 1.0.1, Wireshark 1.10.14 (both win32 and 64 tried), PCA10000 and PCA10001

The sniffer program sees pca10000 (or pca10001) but no packets are captured. I also tried the same setup with a pca10028 it works perfectly.

Thanks in advance, Regards

Hakki

Edit:

No packets in neither of them, also some devices are missing

Hi Hakki,

I just got to know that Segger Jlink driver from v5.10n will break the support for nRF51 revision2 (which is on your PCA10000/1 board). And I saw the same symptom on my setup here where the console can show some data but not in wireshark.

The fix is to roll back the JLink firmware on the board. The tool to do it is J-Link Configurator. So you would need to download and install earlier version of Jlink, suggest v5.10d (as it worked for me) and then use the Jlink Configurator tool in that installation, and click Replace Firmware (not update firmware). After that the board should work.

Please try and let me know if it work.

Jlink v5.10d here.

Downgrading the firmware to v5.10d fixed the situation, thanks a lot.

(For other readers: You replace firmware by right clicking the segger device)
