Getting non-advertising packets with nRF Sniffer?

[mwmccabe]

Hi, I would like to analyze data between a peripheral and a central (BLE 4.1.) It seems that the nRF52 and sniffer can only monitor advertising channels. Am I missing something?

@mwmccabe Is this issue fixed. If the issue is still not fixed, please add a comment. This type of issue usually points to a segger jlink issue, you need to have segger jlink 6.16c for the nRF sniffer v2-beta1. Follow the troubleshooting guide to downgrade the segger jlink emulator firmware on the board.

Yes, this was resolved. Sometimes (as endnonde mentioned in his original post) the packets won't be detected beyond the CONNECT_REQ, which happened the first time I tried it (could also have been due to having multiple peripherals with similar names and the one I selected was grabbed by a central when I was selecting it, which also makes the peripheral undetectable unless already selected.) Tried again, and it was working fine.
