1. Introduction

This chapter introduces the NXP JN5179 USB Dongle (OM15021), which provides a

hardware development platform for wireless microcontroller applications with a USB

interface.

1.1 Overview

The JN5179 USB Dongle features a JN5179 wireless microcontroller and allows

communication with this JN5179 device from a USB connection. The JN5179 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 JN5179

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 JN5179 USB dongle, shown Fig 1, is supplied in the JN5179-EK005 Evaluation Kit.

2.3 Hardware components

The hardware components on the board are described in the following sub-sections.

JN5179 wireless microcontroller – see section 2.3.1

FTDI FT230XS driver device – see section 2.3.2

LEDs – see section 2.3.3

2.3.1 JN5179 device

The JN5179 circuit on the board is based around the standard JN5179-001-M00 module.

However, it is built on a 2-layer board, as the DIOs do not need to be externally available.

The JN5179 device uses an integrated antenna on the PCB of the dongle.

2.3.2 FT230XS device

The FT230XS device is connected to the USB connector and acts as an interface

between the PC and the JN5179 device. The FT230XS will enumerate on the PC as a

virtual COM port connected directly to UART0 on the JN5179 device.

The IO controls C2 and C3 in the FT230XS device need to be set to ’GPIO 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 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. 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 JN5179 wireless

microcontroller (see Fig 2 for locations):

LED D1 (orange)

LED D2 (green)

Both LEDs are connected to DIO14 and DIO15. These DIOs can be used to control the

LEDs as indicated in the Table 1.

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. Alternatively, it may communicate via the USB with an application running on the

NXP Semiconductors UM10955

User manual Rev. 1.1 — 24 February 2016 8 of 14

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 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. Compliance statements and documentation

The FCC ID number of the JN5179 USB dongle is XXMJN5179U0

The IC ID number of the JN5179 USB dongle is 8764A-JN5179U0

user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the

receiver is connected

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following

two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device

must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired

operation.

FCC caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party

responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.

WARNING!

FCC radiation exposure statement:

This portable equipment with its integrated antenna complies with FCC’s RF radiation

exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. To maintain compliance follow

the instructions below;

NXP Semiconductors UM10955
