I want to evaluate the nrf52832 through wireshark, I am following the steps of the document nRF Sniffer User Guide v2.2 but once I enable the "nrf sniffer for bluetooth LE" in the interface toolbar it still does not recognize the signal of the nr

Hello,

I can you please post the output you got when you ran the 'nrf_sniffer_ble.bat --extcap-interfaces' command at step 3 b in Installing the nRF Sniffer capture tool?

This is the log file for nRF Go studio application, not the sniffer. The log file we are interested in should be located in %APPDATA%/Nordic Semiconductor/Sniffer/logs

[laura.ece]

This must be the file

[Vidar Berg]

Thanks. Please check what devices are assigned to COM1 and COM8.

[laura.ece]

[Vidar Berg]

OK, I see you are getting a permission error when it tries to open COM8 (10-Jan-2023 12:48:38 (+0100) ERROR: Error opening UART could not open port 'COM8': PermissionError(13, 'Acceso denegado.', None, 5)). Any chance this port may be kept open by another program like a serial terminal emulator? 

[laura.ece]

Apparently not, I don't have any serial port terminal opened

[Vidar Berg]

OK, can you clear the log and check if you get the same permission error after a reboot of your PC?
