BLE 4.2 sniffer

[lbehhhh]

I am hoping to get solid verification that nordic offers a solution for sniffing BLE 4.2 packets.

The application I need to sniff is maxing out the MTU (250B payload) so I need support for long packets.

The blogs and googling haven't provided me with a solid answer.

Thanks

At this moment our answer is no, we do not have plans to add this support. However it may change in the coming months.

Perhaps I didnt make myself clear. I realize the softdevice is not a sniffer.

What I wanted to know is more about the links I provided in the above comment. They suggest that 1) you can sniff packets longer than 23B (but how long? Cant find that anywhere) and 2) if the sniffer binary is even compatible with nRF52 family of devices.

My problem here really is finding a sniffer for BLE 4.2 that utilizes the long packets. If anyone has suggestion on what to use that would be great. Using the nRF52 is just a science project since I have a board laying around not being used right now and would have been convenient.

Any help is appreciated.
