The NXP JN5169-EK004 evaluation kit is specifically designed
for use with the NXP JN516x series, a range of ultra-low-
power, high-performance wireless microcontrollers suitable
for home-automation and smart-lighting applications. This
comprehensive kit – which includes a series of wireless
carrier boards, plug-in expansion boards, USB dongles,
remote control, Raspberry Pi single board computer (with
programmed micro-SDcard acting as a border-router), and a
complete software design kit – provides everything necessary
for system development.
The supplied Raspberry Pi single-board computer, which runs
NXP OpenWRT firmware, makes it easy to develop solutions
that include sensor-equipped objects as part of the Internet of
Things (IoT).
Thanks to the pre-loaded Smart Home Demonstration, based
on a ZigBee PRO Home Automation application, designers can
quickly produce demonstrators or proof-of-concept products.
The same software can then be used for end products, using
JN5169 ICs or modules. Moreover, the evaluation kit supports
the ZigBee Light Link and Home Automation profiles, as well
as pure IEEE802.15.4 applications. Descriptions and examples
of these protocols/profiles are available in Application Notes
from the NXP Wireless Connectivity TechZone (www.nxp.com/
techzones/wireless-connectivity/overview.html).
The kit also includes a network sniffer license from Ubilogix,
free for use for 45 days, plus a JTAG extension board. The
network sniffer works with the second USB dongle as the
primary device. The JTAG expansion board is compatible
with the Beyond® Semiconductor debug probe, which can
be purchased separately at www.beyondsemi.com/beyond-
debug-key.
The JN5169-EK004 evaluation kit can be ordered using the
reference JN5169HA/EVAL1. Expansion nodes are available in
two kits, the JN516x-XK010 ZigBee Generic Node Expansion
Kit and the JN516x-XK020 ZigBee Lighting/Sensor Node
Expansion Kit.
JN5169 WIRELESS MICROCONTROLLER
The JN5169 is an ultra-low-power, high-performance wireless
microcontroller suitable for ZigBee applications. It features
512 kB embedded Flash, 32 kB RAM and 4 kB EEPROM memory,
allowing OTA upgrade capability without external memory.
The 32-bit RISC processor offers high coding efficiency
through variable width instructions, a multi-stage instruction
pipeline and low-power operation with programmable clock
speeds. It also includes a 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.15.4-compliant
transceiver and a comprehensive mix of analog and digital
peripherals. The best-in-class Rx operating current (down to
13 mA and with a 0.7 µA sleep timer mode) gives excellent
battery life and allows direct operation from a coin cell. It
integrates a 10 dBm power amplifier, which greatly extends
the operating range of the device and thereby improves the
robustness of the connectivity.
