1 Introduction

This manual provides a detailed reference for the DR1198 JN5168 USB Dongle,

supplied with JN516x EK001 evaluation kit. The dongle provides a platform for

hardware development environment for wireless microcontroller applications with

a USB interface.

1.1 Overview

The DR1198 JN5168-001-U00 Dongle provides an easy way of interfacing a

host machine (such as a PC) to a wireless network based on the IEEE802.15.4,

JenNet-IP, ZigBee Light Link, ZigBee Smart Energy and RF4CE

networking applications. The dongle incorporates the NXP JN5168 wireless

microcontroller, allowing a direct USB connection between the host machine and

the JN5168 device, which then provides the radio interface to the wireless

network.

Typical uses of the dongle include:

 A complete and stable hardware environment for the development of

IEEE802.15.4, JenNet-IP, ZigBee Light Link, ZigBee Smart Energy

and RF4CE networking applications, facilitating an accelerated time-

to-market for wireless network products

 The basis of a packet sniffer for IEEE 802.15.4-based wireless

communications

 A means of integrating the host machine into a wireless network, typically

as the network Co-ordinator

The small-footprint PCB of the dongle provides all the necessary components for

a wireless microcontroller with access to a USB connection. All RF layout and

decoupling issues are handled by the design of this dongle. Therefore, this

design is ready for application development without the necessity of hardware

development.

The dongle is shown below.

2.3 FT232L Device

The FT232L device is connected to the USB connector and acts as an interface

between the PC and the JN5168 device. The FT232L will enumerate on the PC

as a virtual COM port connected directly to UART0 on the JN5168.

2.4 JN5168 Device

The JN5168 circuit is based around the standard JN-RD-6038 JN5168 reference

design; however it is built on a 2 layer board as the DIOs do not need to be

externally available.

2.5 LEDs

There are two surface-mounted LEDs that can be controlled by the JN5148

wireless microcontroller (see Figure 2 for locations):

 LED D1 which is green

 LED D2 which is orange

Both LEDs are connected to DIO16 and DIO17. These DIOs can be used to

control the LEDs as indicated in the table below.

2.6 32-kHz Crystal Oscillator

The JN5168 has an internal 32-kHz RC oscillator. In order to provide more

accurate system timings, an external 32-kHz crystal can be used with the device.

This is provided on the USB dongle and can be enabled using the JN516x

Integrated Peripherals API - refer to JN516x Integrated Peripherals API User

Guide (JN-UG-3087).

3 Programming

When the IEEE 802.15.4 USB Dongle is powered up, it attempts to load an

application from the internal Flash and then run the application. This may be a

self-contained application that sends and receives wireless data, and which does

not need to communicate with the host. Alternatively, it may communicate via the

USB to an application running on the host, such as a Windows program, and

communicate with a wireless device or network.

In order to program the serial Flash memory device, the JN51xx Flash

Programmer can be used, which is described in the JN51xx Flash Programmer

User Guide (JN-UG-3007). This programming utility will place the JN5168 into its

programming mode. It will then download the program to the Flash device and

then reset the JN5168, causing the application to be loaded and executed.
