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.

Hi,

I attached here a new hex file for the sniffer for nRF52 DK. Please be aware that this is unofficial, and not fully tested. A small bug fix for this bug also added.

You will see the sniffer console complains about firmware outdated, please ignore that.

Did a quick test on two laptops.

Laptop A with nRF51 Dongle, official sniffer firmware, wireshark v1.12.7

Laptop B with nRF52DK, this hex file, wireshark v2.0.3

Laptop A is showing SCAN_REQ/SCAN_RSP no problem.

Laptop B is only showing SCAN_REQ, no SCAN_RSP is captured.

I didn't try more configurations to see where is the problem. I am afraid of breaking my working environment.

I thought just reporting what I saw.
