JN5148 High-Power USB Dongle (DR1131) Reference Manual 1 Introduction This manual provides a detailed reference for the JN5148 High-Power USB Dongle, of type DR1131, supplied with JenNet-IP EK040 evaluation kit. The dongle provides a platform for hardware development environment for wireless microcontroller applications with a USB interface.
PC and the JN5148 device. The LPC1343 will enumerate on the PC as two devices: 1. A mass storage device used to program the Flash device for the JN5148 2. A virtual COM port connected directly to UART0 on the JN5148 2.4 JN5148 Device...
If the dongle is used in the presence of very strong signals, such as Wi-Fi, then there will be a performance improvement by switching off the Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA) in the front-end to stop the input stage of the JN5148 device from being overloaded with other signals. The LNA can be bypassed using DIO1 - driving DIO1 low will bypass the LNA.
JN5148 device. If you are producing new USB dongles or are developing new ways to communicate with the JN5148 device (i.e. new HID classes) then the mechanism for reprogramming the LPC1343 is as follows. 1. Insert the USB dongle into the PC with pins 2 and 6 of J4 connected together.
PC and the LPC1343 device on the dongle. The replacement binary file must be a specially prepared file called FIRMWARE.BIN. When this file is copied onto the mass storage device, the LPC1343 device holds the JN5148 device in reset and then programs the SPI Flash device directly, releasing the reset once programming is complete.
