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

  • 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?

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

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