where can I find the details of nordic ble sniffer meta?

[zzzh]

I can see it in wireshark called by ble-sniffer, but can't find the definition of it.

There are some comments in wireshark, but not full.

Hi,

What definition are you looking for ?

If you download the nRF Sniffer, you can find the documents Sniffer API Guide.pdf and sniffer_uart_protocol.xlsx located in the doc folder.

We also have the user guide here, and this wireshark doc here.

Hi,

It's called "nordic ble sniffer meta", It's not a wireshark issue, and I read the user guide before I ask.

[Sigurd]

It's renamed to just "Nordic BLE Sniffer" in the new nRF Sniffer v2(and now uses Wireshark v2). Wireshark documentation for that is found here.

Hi, Sigurd,

I can't use nRF Sniffer V2 because of the hardware limit..

Thanks for wireshark documentation link, it do mention the names but not all the detail.

Isn't there a document about it? now I just need to know where is which...

I don’t think there are any more documents about it. Are there any of the defines you don't understand?

[zzzh]

I don't know where is which, for example, the 06 2f 01 after the 03 at the beginning, what they mean?

[Sigurd]

That is just the raw data in hex format. If you look at "Nordic BLE sniffer data" the raw data is parsed, and you see that 03 is the board number, 0x062f is 1583 decimal, so that is the uart packet counter, and 01 is the flag value.

[zzzh]

As the picture shows, uart packet counter is 1576, not 1583, it's not so simple..

[Sigurd]

That is correct. But if you click on the different fields in the "Nordic BLE sniffer meta", the corresponding raw data will be highlighted in blue.

I knew it, that's why I said it's not full.
