Hi,
I am using a simple python script to test packet sniffing:
import time
import subprocess
from nrf802154_sniffer import Nrf802154Sniffer
sniffer = Nrf802154Sniffer()
for chan in range (1, 26):
print ('chan: ' + str(chan))
print ('starting Thread scan...')
sniffer.extcap_capture(fifo="file.pcap", dev="/dev/ttyACM0", channel=chan, metadata="ieee802154-tap")
time.sleep (20)
print ('stopping Thread scan...')
sniffer.stop_sig_handler()
#usbreset "nRF52 USB Product" - did not help
#subprocess.call (['usbreset', 'nRF52 USB Product'])
time.sleep (1)
print ('stopped')
Generates an exception after the first channel switch. Only a reboot/re-plug dongle solves the "lock up". Exception generated after the first channel scan:
Exception: Nrf802154Sniffer (/dev/ttyACM0) channel 2 did not reply properly to setup commands. Please re-plug the device and make sure firmware is correct. Recieved: b''
I already tried a reset usb-function in the script, but that does not work. Only a reboot will solve the lock.
OS: Linux (Debian Buster)
Any suggestions for this problem?
Best regards,
Mart
