Sniffing BLE 5.0 packets

Hi,

I am aware of how to use nRF51 sniffer with wireshark.

But in my current project, I am not able to sniff data packets. I am not sure which BLE stack is used in the product. whether it is BLE 4.2 or BLE 5.0.

I am able to capture advertising packets. I am able to capture connection request. I am able to capture empty PDUs.

Is there any way that I can identify the stack version from advertising packets or connection request?

Can we sniff packets of BLE mesh network via nRF51 sniffer?

  • Can you just upload the sniffer trace file, instead of the snapshot? You can send me via PM if there is anything confidential.

    From what I'm seeing, it seems more like the sniffer couldn't capture all packets from the peers. You need to make sure you leave the sniffer close to both of the 2 devices (dozens of cm) Which board did you use as the sniffer ?
