Is there a sniffer that can just be run over SPI without a USB host controller

[GerryB]

I need a module that I can poll over SPI from my host MCU an output of a FIFO buffer of incoming packets (MAC address and RSSI) on channel 37 Bluetooth. Or a module where I can set the channel via SPI. Should be a surface mount device with no thru-hole pins. Or I can build around a chip.

Hello,

Is it important that you only scan on channel 37? The reason that I ask this is because that the scanning function in the softdevice only supports scanning on channels 37, 38 and 39, and not only one of them. If you want this, you will have to do proprietary radio scanning.

 

The SPI part is not a problem, we have an SPI example in our SDK under: SDK\examples\peripheral\spi

 

BR,

Can you tell me which SDK file path you're referring?  Ive been through both (nRF5 SDK Zip File - works with S132 v3 and S130 v2 12.3.0)  and  (nRF5-SDK-zip nRF5 SDK Zip File - works with S112 v6.0.0, S132 v6.0.0, S140 v6.0.0, and S212 v5.0.x )  but could not find the directory SDK\examples\peripheral\
