CC2531USB-RD: SmartRF Packet Sniffer no longer capturing IEEE 802.15.4 MAC and ZigBee 2007/PRO packets

Part Number: CC2531USB-RD
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2531

When I start the scan the "Select capturing device" goes blank and no packets are displayed.

Device had been working well for months.

Re-flashed the CC2531 with the sniffer image but it still did not work.

Have been working with Ubiqua utility as well. The Ubiqua protocol analyzer only shows Beacon Requests.

    Michael,

    I can see two options:

    • The USB dongle has been damaged.
    • The PC has run out of virtual com port ID's.

    To check both, go into you device manager in your PC and make sure the USB dongle shows up correctly, also if it has a very high assigned number you might be better off by "deleting" the hidden com port devices in your device manager. (please find the menu option to enable hidden ports to be shown) and delete all the hidden ones.

    Regards,
    /TA

    Turns out it was the Windows driver for the CC2531 USB dongle.

    Once I uninstalled and reinstalled it began working again.
