* Run sensniff on your host
* Fire up wireshark and enjoy.
You can run sensniff manually, or you can simply run `make sniff` from within
this directory. If you choose the latter option, you may have to specify the
port where you device is connected by using the PORT variable. For example, if
your device is connected to `/dev/ttyUSB1` then you should run
`make PORT=/dev/ttyUSB1 sniff`.
Make sure your device's UART baud rate matches the `-b` argument passed to
sensniff. I strongly recommend using at least 460800. This comment does not
apply if your device is using native USB.

Once you have the radio sorted out, you also need to configure character I/O.
The firmware captures wireless frames and streams them over a serial line to
the host where your device is connected. This can be achieved over UART or over
CDC-ACM. The example makes zero assumptions about your hardware's capability,

* The build system will also try to include `platform/Makefile.platform`. You
can create this Makefile if you want to extend the build system e.g. by adding
source files to the build, or by specifying Make variables. A common reason why
you may wish to do so would be to specify your device's baudrate. In doing so,
`make sniff` will pass the correct value as the argument to `-b`. You do not
have to create this file if you don't need to do so.
That should be it!
