is there any way to use nrf sniffer with custom board nrf51822 chip ?

Hi everyone;

i think about possibility of using nrf sniffer with custom nrf51822 (QFAA) board . if yes, how can i achieve? could you please help me about it

Best Regards

Hi,

Yes it should be possible. You just need to match the UART pins on your board with the UART pins on our nRF51 DK.

Hi Hung; thank you for your support. Unfortunately there is not any pin matched with development board. i thought that solution but i could not implemented because of QFN package limitations. i wonder that whether there is any hidden configuration with nrf sniffer. Does nrf sniffer use RTS CTS pins (hardware flow control pins) ?

HWFC is used.

Can you connect the pins to UART externally ? If your original UART pins aren't overlap the LEDs pin on the nRF5DK, you don't even need to disconnect them I think.

There is no option to re-configure the pins.

ok i checked pca10028 pins RX->11, TX->9, CTS->10, RTS->8 and my nrf51822custom board (includes lis3dh accelerometer communicates with I2C), I2C_SDA_PIN ->11, LIS_3_INTERRUPT_PIN->9 are assigned and pin 10, pin 8 are not connected. Ok, i will use usb to ttl serial converter (it does not have RTS CTS) and try to solder them.
