CC2540 USB dongle cannot sniff BLE 5.0. You have to buy 3rd party sniffer tool like frontline or ellisys

But then what is this Packet Sniffer-2 PACKET-SNIFFER

Packet Sniffer-2 cannot do BLE 5.0 sniffer too. It's for BLE, Zigbee or sub Ghz.

OK.
1.Which USB tool is used for Packet Sniffer 2?
2.Also then what is the improvement in Sniffer-2 compare to old sniffer ?

I couldn't understand your question "Which USB tool is used for it ?"

0 San Joy over 6 years ago in reply to YiKai Chen

I mean to say if Packet sniffer 2 is upgraded software then what is its supportable Hardware platform ? (like USB CC2540)
