 I have one nrf 51822 demo board. 
 And I want to buy one more board as BLE sniffer. 
 Can I use a nrf52832 demo board as sniffer to grab packet between phone and nrf 51822 demo board. 
 Is there any compatibility questions? 
 Thanks.</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Mon, 29 May 2017 15:20:03 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/22411/sniffer-device-compatibility" /><item><title>RE: Sniffer device compatibility</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/88143?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 29 May 2017 15:20:03 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:6d799385-5c0b-4358-9547-64dd99cfcf67</guid><dc:creator>pikachu</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;OK.

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;official&lt;/strong&gt; supported hardware is covered in Chapter 1.1 in the &lt;a href="http://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/pdf/nRF_Sniffer_UG_v1.4.pdf"&gt;nRF Sniffer User Guide v1.4&lt;/a&gt;. To set up the Sniffer you will need one of the following kits :&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;nRF51822 Evaluation Kit (PCA10001) and a mini USB cable&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;nRF51422 Evaluation Kit (PCA10003) v3.0.0 or later and a mini USB cable&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;nRF51822 Development Kit dongle (PCA10000)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;nRF51-DK (PCA10028) v1.0.0 or later and a micro USB cable&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;nRF51 Dongle (PCA10031)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is no officialy supported sniffer firmware for the nRF52, but there is an &lt;strong&gt;unofficial&lt;/strong&gt; sniffer firmware for the nRF52832-DK found in &lt;a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/question/44132/sniffer-for-nrf52-dk/?answer=73530#post-id-73530"&gt;this thread&lt;/a&gt;. If you are buying a board that will be mainly used as a sniffer, I would recommend buying one of the officially supported boards.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
