I bought a WCH BLE Analyzer PRO, only to realize it doesn't have Linux support. Using the windows binaries, i reverse engineered their USB implementation, and vibe-coded a capture tool together in less than 24 hours.

A bit of a demo of the driver and decoding on Linux: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGuT78euLIo

I also wrote a Android app that allows OTG connecting the WCH BLE Analyzer to a Android phone. Waiting for the OTG adapter to test it properly, if anyone is interested.
