nRF52840 dongle PCA10059 - sniffer

[smarion]

Is there a sniffer firmware for this board ?

I download "nrf_sniffer_2.0.0-beta-1_51296aa.zip" but it appear that no fw exist for this board.

Is it correct ?

By reading the user guide 2.2, it looks like:

1.1 Required hardware

To set up the Sniffer you will need one of the following kits:

• nRF51DevelopmentKit(PCA10028)v1.0orlaterandamicroUSBcable • nRF51Dongle(PCA10031)
• nRF51822EvaluationKit(PCA10001)andaminiUSBcable
• nRF51422EvaluationKit(PCA10003)v3.0.0orlaterandaminiUSBcable • nRF51822DevelopmentKitdongle(PCA10000)

• nRF52DevelopmentKit(PCA10040)andamicroUSBcable
• nRF52840DevelopmentKit(PCA10056)andamicroUSBcable

So I guess PCA10059(nrf52840 dongle) is not currently supported?

Yes, that is unfortunately correct. No support for the 52840 dongle yet.

May I ask, is there a release date for 840 dongle? Thank you

[Bjørn Kvaale]

The 52840 dongle has been out for quite a while. I would recommend you to subscribe to the product update notifications & the wireless q magazine. That way, you will always be up to date on all new HW releases.

Sounds great! Thanks for the tips!

Is there any update about the PCA10059(nrf52840 dongle) ?

[Bjørn Kvaale]

No sniffer FW yet unfortunately. Like mentioned previously, I would subscribe to the product update notification & follow us on Twitter. You can use the 51 dongle with the sniffer, as well as nRF51 or nRF52 DKs.
