(JN-RD-6039). This USB Dongle features a JN516x wireless microcontroller and allows communication with this JN516x device from a USB connection. With suitable embedded software running on the JN516x device, the dongle can then communicate with an IEEE 802.15.4, JenNet-IP, ZigBee PRO (ZigBee Light Link or Smart Energy) or ZigBee-RF4CE wireless network.
IEEE802.15.4, JenNet-IP, ZigBee PRO (ZigBee Light Link or Smart Energy) or ZigBee-RF4CE networking protocol. An FTDI device provides the USB connection between the host machine and the JN516x device, which in turn provides the radio interface to the wireless network.

JN516x USB Dongle Reference Manual 2 Hardware Overview This chapter provides an overview of the hardware design and the main hardware components of the JN516x USB Dongle. 2.1 Dongle Layout 30mm Antenna SPI Flash LEDs JN516x FT232RL Figure 2: DR1198 Board Layout 2.2 Dongle Block Diagram...
The FT232RL device is connected to the USB connector and acts as an interface between the PC and the JN516x device. The FT232RL will enumerate on the PC as a virtual COM port connected directly to UART0 on the JN516x device.
32-kHz crystal can be used with the device. This is provided on the JN516x USB Dongle and can be enabled from the JN516x application using the JN516x Integrated Peripherals API - refer to the JN516x Integrated Peripherals API User Guide (JN-UG-3087).
Reference Manual 3 Flash Programming When the JN516x USB Dongle is powered up, it attempts to run an application from the internal Flash memory of the JN516x device. This may be a self- contained application that sends and receives wireless data, and which does not need to communicate with the host.
