(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 JN5179 device, which in turn provides the radio interface to the wireless network.
USB 2.0 Full-Speed Compatible Interface IEEE 802.15.4-based wireless microcontroller (JN5179) with the following radio characteristics: Transmit power: 8.5 dBm (typ.), can be increased to 10 dBm (typ.) Transmit current: 19.6 mA (typ) at 8.5 dBm / 23.3 mA (typ.) at 10 dBm Receive sensitivity: 96dBm (typ.)
1. Download the application FT_Prog from the FTDI website www.ftdichip.com 2. Insert the JN5179 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.
D2: Off 3. Flash programming When the JN5179 USB dongle is powered up, it attempts to run an application from the internal Flash memory of the JN5179 device. This may be a self-contained application that sends and receives wireless data, and which does not need to communicate with the host.
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 JN5179 into its programming mode. It will then download the program to the Flash memory and reset the JN5179 device, causing the application to be executed.
4.3 Module integration special warnings for US and Canada The JN5179-001-U0 module is considered as component that will be operated in combination with the final equipment. Then, the final equipment (including power supply system) still needs to re-confirm that the whole system complies with intentional and unintentional emission requirements.
