[Chandu_Maharaj]

Hi,

I am able to sniff the data from nRF52840 DK in windows 10.

But unable to do it in Ubuntu as per procedure mentioned in sniffer guide.

No Interface is shown in wireshark. But same interface is shown in nRF connect desktop app.

Thanks in Advance,

K Chandu

Hello,

Please make sure your user has access rights to the /dev/ttyACMx port, or try running wireshark as root. You can use the  nrf-udev package to get user access.

Also, there is a bug in the Segger VCOM implementation that may require you to disable the mass storage class. Please check out this link for more details: https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/zephyr/guides/tools/nordic_segger.html?highlight=msddisable#disabling-the-mass-storage-device-functionality

Best regards,
