Using nrf sniffer without Evaluation Kit

Hi everyone

I want to use nrf sniffer for debugging.

But I don't have required hardware Evaluation kits in User Guide

Can I combine single nrf 51822 with USB-to-UART as a sniffer?

What should I notice?

Are there limitation on pin number set for TX,RX,CTS,RTS?

  • Well, our intend was not to force user to buy our DK or Dongle. But since it's pretty cheap now (only $39), it worth the investment especially you get a programmer for free (if you buy the DK).

    To use the sniffer with your own board, you just need to match your UART pins with what we used on our Development board. You don't need a Segger chip to make it work. Just find a way to interface the correct UART pins with your PC. Which are:

    P0.08 RTS

    P0.09 TXD

    P0.10 CTS

    P0.11 RXD
