nRF52840DK is not recognized by Wireshark

[Jiri Husak]

Hello,

I wanted to use the nRF Sniffer SW, all installed (sniffer  4.1.1) and works on nRF52840DK (PCA10056). All worked perfectly DK version 1.0.0. However when I use the recently bought kit version rev 3.0.0, the Wireshark can't see the HW UART port. 

Could you please help me how to make it working on this revision of the DK ?

Thanks in advance,

Jiri

Hi, 

nRF52840DK (PCA10056) rev 3.0.0 cannot support nRF Sniffer.

Thanks Amanda for confirmation, 

2 follow up questions:

- do you plan to fix this (and many others) weaknesses of this version of DK?

- is it possible to buy older revision of the kit from any distribution? for example at farnell https://cz.farnell.com/nordic-semiconductor/nrf52840-dk/dev-kit-bluetooth-low-energy-soc/dp/2842321 I can't really select.

Thanks

Regards,

Jiri

The workaround for nRF52840DK v3.0.0 is to use the second USB connection.
