&lt;p&gt;I repeat this process, everything seems fine. Here is my setup:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;1. Build latest NCP for nRF52840 dongle(v1.2.0).&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Setup build envrionment following&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://github.com/openthread/ot-nrf528xx/blob/main/src/nrf52840/README.md"&gt;ot-nrf528xx/README.md at main · openthread/ot-nrf528xx (github.com)&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and build with following commands:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre class="ui-code" data-mode="text"&gt;/script/build nrf52840 USB_trans -DOT_BOOTLOADER=USB

arm-none-eabi-objcopy -O ihex build/bin/ot-ncp-ftd ot-ncp-ftd.hex&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I get the hex file:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/4/1004.ot_2D00_ncp_2D00_ftd.hex"&gt;devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../1004.ot_2D00_ncp_2D00_ftd.hex&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;2. Programming&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp?topic=%2Fug_nc_programmer%2FUG%2Fnrf_connect_programmer%2Fncp_programming_dongle.html"&gt;nRF52840 Dongle&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;through USB bootloader.&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;3. Run the sniffer.py&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am not sure if you tested with the same NCP firmware. Please test my hex file and also check your nRF52840 version. The document mentioned that it only tested PCA10059 1.0.0.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Charlie&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
