Is it possible to record HCI logs using nRF52840?

[Michael-1965]

Hi all.

I have written an application using a softdevice and I want to analyse an interesing behavior I don't understand at the moment.
So I want to record a trace/log of the used HCI commands to see what's going on on deeper levels.

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance
Cheers Michael

Hi Michael,

The address resolving happens on the fly.

My address to resolve is not listed in this list.

The application is responsible for managing the list, and it should contain IRK for your peer device, not the address. Does the "input address" ever match your address though?

Cheers,

Vidar

On the fly: this means much faster than 150us?

Yes, the IRK is visible in the list, but I don't see the advertised address of my device as "input address".
But Nordic has connected to my device.

I use white lists.

It takes typ. 48 us according to the PS here: AAR Electrical Specification, fast enough to resolve addresses in real-time.

Can you post a sniffer trace that shows the connect request?

I have made a trace, recorded the logs and added a screenshot with some explanations.
GPIO lines for button press and led display are also included in the trace. When the LED is enabled I would expect a connection request will already be sent during the first advertisement group.

Thanks in advance

Thank you. However, I'm not seeing any connection requests in the trace you sent. Is the LED and BUTTON signals used to indicate activity on the scanner side? Either way I will have to take a closer at this Monday.
