How to read nrf sniffer 4.1.0 serial data in C?

[Matthew C Clark]

I'm trying to work with Kismet's nrf51822 plugin that would allow kismet to read the nRF BLE sniffer 4.1.0 the same way Wireshark does.  Alas, theirs is C based and I don't seem to get the right data off my nRF51 DK reading its serial port in C the way the Wireshark plugin does.

Can I first validate I should be opening the /dev/ttyACM0 with 115200 N81 no flow control?  I'm basing that on the results

$ stty < /dev/ttyACM0
speed 115200 baud; line = 0;
intr = <undef>; quit = <undef>; erase = <undef>; kill = <undef>; eof = <undef>; start = <undef>; stop = <undef>; susp = <undef>; rprnt = <undef>; werase = <undef>; lnext = <undef>;
discard = <undef>; min = 0; time = 1;

Hi, 

True, we use python and not C. Can't really help you with making it work with C.

However, there is an open-source application in C already that uses the sniffer UART protocol.
