Support for USRP

[alkaid-007]

Hi, may I ask what type of USRPs can use this? I tried USRP N310, but it showed unsupported.

[mikeryan]

I've only tested it with the B200 series, but the code may work with the N310. Give it a try and see if you see any BLE advertising packets.

[alkaid-007]

Hi, I tried it in WireShark, but it shows unsupported. Please see the attached.

[alkaid-007]

I also tried USRP N210, and it still showed that unsupported. Could you please provide me with any suggestions?

With a b205mini and Wireshark I can see it listed in Wireshark, however, when trying to use it I get a pop up saying Error opening UHD:11

This is the same error I get when trying to use the ice9 binary directly with a b205mini and only putting usrp-

Makes me think it’s getting ran without putting the serial number after usrp- although the initial Wireshark menu with interfaces correctly lists the serial number.

This is using the latest commits, which does now allow my b205mini to work when directly using the binary.

I believe I have the same error as @alphafox02 but with B200-mini.

[mikeryan]

Could someone with this error please try running the command from the command line like so:

ice9-bluetooth -l -s -c 2427 -C 20 -i usrp-<serial>

Let me know if you get the same error "Error opening UHD: 11" or if something else happens.

Pulled and built latest source. I do not have the above issue with a b205mini when I tested just now using the command you pasted above. I do however have the issue when trying to open it from wireshark.

Hi, tried with usrp B200, getting this same error, any thoughts about this? Reproduced with master branch and v23.06.0

On a B205 Mini, using the following command line appears to work fine (serial number edited):

Are you replacing serial with your serial number?

Hello , I have the same issue:
ice9-bluetooth -l -s -c 2427 -C 20 -i usrp-3189ffd
[INFO] [UHD] linux; GNU C++ version 11.4.0; Boost_107400; UHD_4.7.0.0-0ubuntu1~jammy1

[Karthick-Vishnu]

I'm having the same issue. In wireshark, my usrp is showing with ice9 but when I start capturing it, it throws me the error like

Error by extcap pipe: [INFO] [UHD] linux; GNU C++ version 11.3.0; Boost_107400; UHD_4.1.0.5-0-unknown
ice9-bluetooth: Error opening UHD: 11.

ice9-bluetooth -l -i usrp-3143023 -c 2402 -C 20 -s -v -w /home/admin1/Music/out.pcap
But when I run this in terminal, It is running successfully and capturing.
Another issue is the pcap file is empty and I can't even analyze the packets.

[alphafox02]

I would try this fork

https://github.com/bkerler/ice9-bluetooth-sniffer

He helped fix a few things and I recall testing my usrp with it.

I'm also getting this error. I wonder if it's the string in Wireshark causing the issue? Wireshark reports "ICE9 Bluetooth: usrp-B200-30BC469". Running the command line "ice9-bluetooth -l -s -c 2427 -C 20 -i usrp-B200-30BC467" gives me error 11, but if I remove the B200 and run "ice9-bluetooth -l -s -c 2427 -C 20 -i usrp-30BC467" then it's OK.

Note for readers: sudo ice9-bluetooth -l -s -c 2427 -C 20 -i usrp-XXXXXX works, but sudo ice9-bluetooth -l -s -c 2427 -C 20 -i usrp-B200-XXXXXX Throws up error 11, maybe that's part of the issue
