using nRF51822 as a sniffer

[perytons]

Hi Is there a documentation of the nRF51822 sniffer interface? e.g. communication structure, command format, captured messages structure etc? Thanks Yaron

Hi,

There is no release planned for the nRF51822 sniffer interface, however a python API is planned to pull the data out from the COM port. Unfortunately we do not have any committed dates for this feature.

Hi, Perytons develops protocol analyzers. We only develop the software and use 3rd party hardware as a capture device. In ZigBee our analyzer interfaces most of the existing vendors in the market (TI, Freescale, OKI, ST microelectronics, Atmel and others). We would like to add your dongle to our BLE supported hardware. From your dev kit user point of view, they will get a very professional analysis tool based on your dongle (you can see some of our analyzer features at www.youtube.com/watch. For this we need to know the command and message structure used today between your dongle and sniffer application. I;ll appreciate if you can pass this to the relevant person in the organization. Best regards Yaron
