1. Introduction
This chapter introduces the NXP JN5169 USB Dongle (DR1198), which provides a
hardware development platform for wireless microcontroller applications with a USB
interface.
1.1 Overview
The JN5169 USB Dongle features a JN5169 wireless microcontroller and allows
communication with this JN5169 device from a USB connection. The JN5169 device can
act as a node of a wireless network. Thus, the dongle provides an easy way of
interfacing a host machine (such as a PC) to a wireless network based on the
IEEE802.15.4, ZigBee Smart Energy or ZigBee-Home Automation networking protocol.
An FTDI device provides the USB connection between the host machine and the JN5169
device, which in turn 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, ZigBee Smart Energy and ZigBee-Home Automation 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 Coordinator
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 JN5168 USB dongle, shown Fig 1, is supplied in the JN5169-EK004 Evaluation Kit.

2.3 Hardware components
The hardware components on the board are described in the following sub-sections.
JN5169 wireless microcontroller – see section 2.3.1
FTDI FT232RL driver device – see section 2.3.2
LEDs – see section 2.3.3
32-kHz crystal oscillator – see section 2.3.4
2.3.1 JN5169 device
The JN5169 circuit on the board is based around the standard JN5169-001-M00 module.
However, it is built on a 2-layer board, as the DIOs do not need to be externally available.
The JN5169 device uses an integrated antenna on the PCB of the dongle.

2.3.2 FT232RL device
The FT232RL device is connected to the USB connector and acts as an interface
between the PC and the JN5169 device. The FT232RL will enumerate on the PC as a
virtual COM port connected directly to UART0 on the JN5169 device.
The IO controls C2 and C3 in the FT232RL device need to be set to ’I/O Mode’ to allow
the RESET and PGM signals to operate correctly. To do this, execute the following
instructions.
1. Download the application FT_Prog from the FTDI website www.ftdichip.com
2. Insert the JN5169 USB Dongle into a USB port of your computer and wait for the
device to enumerate
3. Start FT_Prog and click Scan and Parse (the magnifying glass button)
4. Update the IO controls C2 and C3 to I/O MODE – see Fig 4

2.3.3 LEDs
There are two surface-mounted LEDs that can be controlled by the JN5169 wireless
microcontroller (see Fig 2 for locations):
LED D1 (green)
LED D2 (orange)
Both LEDs are connected to DIO16 and DIO17. These DIOs can be used to control the
LEDs as indicated in the Table 1.

2.3.4 32-kHz crystal oscillator
The JN5169 device 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 JN5169 USB dongle and can be enabled from the JN5169 application
using the JN5169 Integrated Peripherals API - refer to the JN5169 Integrated Peripherals
API User Guide (JN-UG-3087).

3. Flash programming
When the JN5169 USB dongle is powered up, it attempts to run an application from the
internal Flash memory of the JN5169 device. 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 with an application running on the
host, such as a Windows program, and also communicate with a wireless device or
network.
In order to program an application binary into Flash memory, the JN51xx Production
Flash Programmer can be used, which is described in the JN51xx Production Flash
Programmer User Guide (JN-UG-3099). This programming utility will place the JN5169
into its programming mode. It will then download the program to the Flash memory and
reset the JN5169 device, causing the application to be executed.
4. Compliance statements and documentation
The FCC ID number of the JN5169 USB dongle is XXMJN5169U0
The IC ID number of the JN5169 USB dongle is 8764A-JN5169U0
