4. Installed Wireshark version Wireshark v2.4.2

5. Referred the "nRF_Sniffer_UG_v2.1.pdf"

Followed all the steps 1 to 8 mentioned under the Install nRF Sniffer heading

Question 1 :Still nRF sniffer is not listed in the Wireshark interface.Please help me.

Question 2: There is no clear steps how to run the sniffer using the beta version of the Python. if i try to run the "nrf_sniffer.py"

This is an issue with Python not being able to resolve the local path properly. Add the following line:

sys.path.append('SnifferAPI')

before

from SnifferAPI import Sniffer, myVersion, Logger, UART

The code for the BLE sniffer needs to be flashed to the development kit, and using the specified settings in the user guide. (SWD, 1000Hz frequency)

[PrasannaKumar]

While trying to erase the code and then flash, has been following the step given in User guide.

 

Encountered the following error while trying to connect. Please let's know the solution.

Thanks

If you're using the NRF51 development dongle, you want to be using the firmware for board PCA10000. I suggest your read through the user guide and follow the instructions (PDF included with software).
