It passively listens to BLE traffic between devices and streams the data into Wireshark for packet-level analysis. It supports BLE only, ships with Nordic Firmware V2, and requires a J-Link for firmware reprogramming.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-lg-2 col-md-3 col-sm-3 col-xs-4\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInterested in learning how Bluetooth Low Energy works down to the packet level? Debugging your own BLE hardware, and trying to spot where something is going wrong? Or maybe you're writing a custom application for your phone or tablet that needs to talk to existing BLE hardware, but you don't know how it works beneath the surface? We have the perfect tool for you!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Bluefruit LE Friend is programmed with a special firmware image that turns it into an easy-to-use Bluetooth Low Energy sniffer. You can passively capture data exchanges between two BLE devices, pushing the data into Wireshark, the open-source network analysis tool, where you can visualize things on a packet level, with useful descriptors to help you make sense of the values without having to crack open the 2000-page Bluetooth 4.0 Core Specification every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease Note: \u003c\/strong\u003e You can only use this device to listen on Bluetooth Low Energy devices!
