I'm sorry, but I don't have any details on if or when Coded PHY will be available for the nRF Sniffer. Please contact the Regional Sales Manager of your area to get details on the matter. If you don't have the RSMs contact info, please fill out our Sales Related Questions form and you'll be put in touch.

Best regards,

Simon

Hi Simon,

Thank you for confirmation. May be for packet format I will check in 1MBPS or 2MBPS settings. Once everything with respect to data format working, I will change to Coded PHY settings.

By the way later anytime whether we can expect sniffer code with Coded PHY ?

Thanks & Regards

Hi Vishnu

1. The nRF52840 Dongle can not be used as a sniffer I'm afraid. To use the nRF Sniffer for Bluetooth LE you need either the nRF52840 DK, nRF52 DK, nRF51 DK or the nRF51 Dongle.

2. No, the nRF Sniffer does not support tracing Coded PHY packets. It does support sniffing 1MBPS and 2MBPS with data length extension though. Sorry to disappoint you.

Best regards,

Simon
