Using Wireshark:

Two options exist so far sniffing data with the mc13224v and analyzing it in wireshark. They are:

• using rftest-rx to generate a pcap and and pipe into wireshark
• setup Linux 802.15.4 and use the 802.15.4 monitor device.

Setting the channel:

Sending a character to the device running rftest-rx will increment the channel. Open the sniffer device in a terminal and press a key until you have the desired channel selected.

Piping into Wireshark:

After running rftest-rx on a device, you can parse it's output into a pcap using rftestrx2pcap.pl in tools:

$ ~/libmc1322x/tools/rftestrx2pcap.pl -t /dev/ttyUSB1 > foo.pcap

This will make a pcap that you can load into Wireshark. Alternatively for live captures, you can pipe directly into wireshark with:

$ ~/libmc1322x/tools/rftestrx2pcap.pl -t /dev/ttyUSB1 | wireshark -k -i -

Linux 802.15.4:

To setup Linux 802.15.4, see the following tutorial.
