How can I sniff BLE Mesh Packets/Beacons?

[blemesh]

I tried to sniff Mesh Packets send with the Light Switch Example but I didn't get any.

For sniffing I use the nrfsniffer v2 with the nrf dongle and for the Light Switch Example I use the nrf52840-Preview-DK.

I also removed the non default access address as described here: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/32614/mesh-sdk-beacon-example-not-working-mesh-sdk-1-0-1

But I get mesh beacons from the Laird BL652 Board, which is based on the nord mesh sdk v0.10.0.

Has anyone an idea why I can't see the mesh beacons from the nordic board? Are there some different configurations?

I solved the problem:

In the Mesh SDK in the bearer_defines.h there is a define for the default Access Address:

#define BEARER_ACCESS_ADDR_NONCONN 0x8E89BED6

And there is the problem. The Access Address has to be defined as unsigned. After adding an "U" at the end of the Address it worked.

I think this is an error in the Mesh SDK.

Hi,

Thank you for sharing the solution, it is highly appreciated! I have notified the Mesh team, and hopefully it gets fixed for the upcoming Mesh release. Thanks again for pointing this out.
