Sniffer for nRF52 DK

[FA]

Hi,

I got one of nRF52 DKs. Is there any chance that we can use this DK similar to nRF51 DK as a sniffer in near future?

I tried to program the board with the HEX file for nRF51. It will say successfully programmed, but when the Sniffer application is running, it can not detect the board on the COM port. I checked and the board is on COM5, but I think maybe the HEX file need to be changed for nRF52.

We just needed to change UART pin mapping and it worked. We also need to include this changes in the HOST side. Try this hex on your nRF52 board, remember that device filtering is not working that is because HOST side needs some tuning and we will release it full after full testing nRF-Sniffer.zip

Hello, I flashed the hex on the nRF52DK and start the ble-sniffer_win_1.0.1_1111_Sniffer.exe. The sniffer finds the BLE devices. After this i select a device to sniff the packets on it. But it says firmware outdated. From the other posts, i understand that this message can be ignored(?) since the hex is not official. But, once i select a device to sniff and type 'w' to start the wireshark, i dont see any packets captured by the wireshark. I tried with setting a filter of Tx power <= 4dB, because the advertisements are being Txed at 4dBm. Can anybody tell me what I am missing
