ccsniffpiper's Issues

TI CC2540 support / BLE support

Your csniffpiper was very helpful to me. I've figured out a few changes to make ccsniffpiper work with the CC2540 and generate BLE traces that Wireshark can handle. What's the best way to make this available to other people? Should I fork your code? Attach a patch file?

Exception in thread

Hi Andrew
I tried to run the sniffer in two Linux machines, one is a RPI with Raspbian and the other is an Ubuntu 14.04 LTS an I got the same error, just after starting the capture:

NoBackendError('No backend available')

Hi, i'm running ccsniffpiper on MacOS Catalina and recently came across this error when trying to run the programme. Could you possibly let me know what this could be and a fix. Many thanks

ccsniffpiper on linux

Hi!
I have try to run ccsniffer on ubuntu but get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./ccsniffpiper.py", line 549, in
snifferDev = CC2531(handlerDispatcher, args.channel)
File "./ccsniffpiper.py", line 298, in init
self.name = usb.util.get_string(self.dev, 256, 2) # get name from USB descriptor
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/usb/util.py", line 328, in get_string
raise ValueError("The device does not support the specified langid")
ValueError: The device does not support the specified langid

Do have any ideas how to fix this?

Wireshark shows Bad FCS

I installed ccsniffpiper on an iMac running Catalina and set it up with Wireshark 3.03 and a CC2531 dongle. Every packet listed in Wireshark is shown with Bad FCS.

CC2531 Firmware

Hello,

Would like to try this tool but my CC2531 appear with different USB-id (idVendor=0451, idProduct=16a8), what is the correct firmware to use with this tool? If you could add it to the github repository would be appreciated!

Best Regards,
Mattias Törnblad
