sanderjo commented 2 months ago

I have a TI CC2531 USB CDC plugged in (with pre-flashed firmware), both dmesg and lsusb show the device., but whsniff says "ERROR: No working device found."

Ubuntu 22.04.04 LTS

I think not related to https://github.com/homewsn/whsniff/issues/10

Tips very welcome.

Whsniff is looking for TI CC2531 USB dongle with idVendor=0451 and idProduct=16ae. So your CC2531 dongle should be flashed with sniffer_fw_cc2531.hex firmware from TI SmartRF Packet Sniffer 2.18.1.

Ah. Thanks.

I have no firmware programmer, so that's end of story then for me.
