CC2531 USB dongle as packet sniffer Linux and iOS driver problem

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2531, CC2650, CC2538, CC2650STK

I would like to use CC2531 usb dongle as a packet sniffer for 6lowpan with Wreshark and Sensniff on Linux and/or iOS.

It works with TI Packet Sniffer software on Windows, but is not recognised as usb device neither on Linux nor on iOS - no driver.

Is there a driver for it and if yes, how to install it?

Hi YiKai,

Thanks for that, you're a legend.

Looks like there is a different sniffer firmware for TI Packet Sniffer and Wiresharh/Sensniff combination.

When I run sensniff from tereminal there is no reponse for 'c' command and '25' command. Is it normal?

Anyhow, it looks very shaky and unstable, but works.

Thanks again.

I was trying to build sniffer for CC2650 sensortag+devpackdebug following the tutorial hereprocessors.wiki.ti.com/.../Contiki_sniffer , but it didn't work. Do you know how to do it?

I had made CC2538 work as 6LowPAN sniffer but I don't test on CC2650STK+CC-DEVPACK-DEBUGGER. I might try it later.
