  • Sonoff CC2652P stick as ZigBee sniffer?
    2 projects | /r/ZigBee | 8 Nov 2022
    Flash the stick with C:\Program Files (x86)\Texas Instruments\SmartRF Tools\SmartRF Packet Sniffer 2\sniffer_fw\bin\cc1352p1lp\sniffer_fw.hex . As far as I know, you can flash it using the same methods you'd normally use to flash Z-Stack firmware. cc2538-bsl.py works, but if you ask it to verify, it'll show "ERROR: Timeout waiting for ACK/NACK after 'Get CRC32 (0x27)'". And note that once you flash the sniffer FW, you won't be able to re-flash it over USB; you'll need to use the cJTAG pins on the board (the Reset, TMS, TCK, etc… pins shown in this pic), which requires extra hardware, such as the CC-DEVPACK-DEBUG. Or at least I couldn't figure out how to do it; if it's possible, please let me know how.
