.Introductionnrf-ble-sniffer-osx is an OS X program which interfaces with the BTLE sniffer software released by Nordic for use on their development boards and allows you to view and follow BTLE packets and conversations, dump them to a PCAP file or view them decoded in Wireshark. What you needf Nordic development boardYou need one of the development boards sold by Nordic for their nRF51822 Bluetooth Low Energy chip. They have a variety of kits, their comes with a dongle which you can use, their has both a dongle and an evaluation board and both of them work with the sniffer software. Nordic sniffer softwareOnce you have a Nordic kit you can access their software and download the. The sniffer software is some code which is loaded onto the development board plus an applications to use it under Windows and a user guide. I recommend, if you have access to a Windows box, that you start by running it that way so you can ensure your board is working properly and you have the software on it, tested. But you can still do this entire task in OS X if you don't.You need at least version 1.0.1 of the sniffer software.Versions prior to 1.x.x won't be recognised by the software.You can program the software onto the device using Nordic's Windows software (follow the guide) or you can use my also on SourceForge, if you do that, loading the software looks something like this, just hit the 'Both' button to wipe and upload the software.WiresharkTo display packets you need the free, excellent, packet analyser,.

You can run the sniffer without it, but it's pretty limited. I recommend getting Wireshark set up and running before you even try installing the ble sniffer program.You need version 1.10.x, 1.12.x or 2.0.x of Wireshark.2.0.x2.0 doesn't need X11, you should be able to download, install and use it out of the box.1.10.x, 1.12.x1.10 and 1.12 was written to be cross-platform using X-windows (X11). I very highly recommend 1.12.x as it has better bluetooth support. Wireshark has a, download and install.Wireshark needs X11 in order to run, X11 does not come pre-installed on OSX anymore, however OSX recognises programs which need it and points you to which is the official site for X11 for OSX now. You need to install X11 as well in order to get Wireshark working.I recommend getting Wireshark and X11 installed, rebooting (annoying but it's the best way to get the X11 service properly started) then checking that the Wireshark app works from the dock. The sniffer software makes some assumptions about a standard install of Wireshark in order to run it, so getting it working first really helps later.once installedOnce it's installed, one good test is to start the Terminal app and type the following. $ tshark - v TShark 1.

Installation ble-sniffer-osxDownload the package from SourceforgeIt's a package installer which installs the application in /Applications. The package is Gatekeeper-signed and should install on a Mac with default install parameters. If you want to delete it again, just remove the app from /Applications RunningWhen you run the application you can start it with or without a sniffer plugged into one of the USB ports.

On startup the app checks for an installed Wireshark and installs the correct plugins into the wireshark support directory, and updates any plugins which are old. About box and wireshark informationSelecting 'about ble-sniffer-osx' from the main menu gives you an about box which tells you what the app knows about your Wireshark install. A working version looks like thisThis shows the current version of Wireshark found, if it's found at all, and the plug-in which has been installed to decode packets. If there's an error here, no Wireshark, or some other issue, that needs to be fixed before you will be able to decode packets. You can hit the 'Check Wireshark' button to perform the check again after you re-install Wireshark or make other fixes and the app will show the new status.

Main screenWith no sniffer plugged in the main screen will showAs soon as you plug a sniffer in the screen should show it. If it doesn't there are a few possibilities. the board you plugged in doesn't have the sniffer software on it, or the version is too old (or possibly too new) for the code to recognise it.

you have an older version of JLink than V4.90 on your machine. Please upgrade. Versions prior to that required that specific drivers (the CDC drivers) on OSX were enabled or disabled in order to use JLink or use the USB for data.

In order for the app to read data, the CDC drivers need to be enabled. V4.90 and later of the JLink software fixed these issues so that you can leave the CDC drivers enabled and use both the JLink/Segger and read data. the app is broken, please file a bug report.Each board you plug in should show a tab with details about the board and the devices it's currently seeing.
