HW platforms for BLE Sniffer

[Norbert]

Hello,

According to the nRF Sniffer Guide 1.2, the sniffer is supported on a number of platforms (nRF51822/nRF51422 Evaluation Kits and others). All of them (as far as I could see) are marked as 'not recommended' on the Nordic product web page. The listed distributors (Mouser, Avnet, Digikey, etc.) do not have them on stock anymore.

What are the recommended replacement HW platforms for the sniffer?

Thanks,

Norbert

There are "nRF51 DK" (PCA10028) and nRF51 DONGLE" (PCA10031) are compatible with nRF Sniffer and they should be still recommended for nRF51xxx development.

(just note that nRF51 is not supported since nRF5 SDK V13.0.0, it's question if Nordic will ever include that into new SDK releases... btw. there is unofficial Sniffer FW for nRF52 DK in this Q&A).

Thank you.

From your response and the linked thread (and its age) I suppose there will not be any new official sniffer release, right?

Thanks,

Norbert

Hi Norbert,

At this moment our answer is no, however it may change in the coming months.
