Hi,

Can you create a new ticket for your question?

This ticket is already 4 years old,

Another question I have is, can I use two PCA100565 development kits to check the packet error rate?

Hi Jared

documentation talks about packet error rate but it's not working with Bluetooth stack its running on it's own. what's my problem is data link layer retransmit the malform packet so i need to count the retransmitted packet while running the Bluetooth stack operations is it possible?

regards

Karthik

Which link the blogpost that Hung shared earlier? The DTM sample for nRF Connect SDK can be found here, along with instrutctions.

above link gives the info on Segger Embedded Studio but what about nrf connect sdk for VS code?

I'm not an expert in wireshark but you can use a filter in wireshark to see only the CRC failed packets. Find a malformed packet and right click on the attribute at the bottom bar and choose Apply as Filter.

Is there any way to measure this on the sniffer? I already set it up but I will take a look at jimmy's method as well.

Hi,

You can have a look at this blog, by observing the RX END event, the author managed to measure the packet error rate: https://jimmywongiot.com/2019/08/26/__trashed-5/

Is there any update to this? We would like to do error rate testing as well, and I was wondering if this is the only solution.

Hi Apolcari,

The number of packet error (CRC error for example) or retransmission are not available for the nRF51 application and also on the app on Android, as far as I know.

What you can do is to use a sniffer to track the connection and count the number of re-transmission or CRC error.

Beside the ready to use sniffer, we also provide in the .zip package the SnifferAPI (SnifferAPI.zip) so you can build your automation test tool.
