DR1198 JN5168 USB Dongle
Reference Manual
1 Introduction
This manual provides a detailed reference for the DR1198 JN5168 USB Dongle,
supplied with JN516x EK001 evaluation kit. The dongle provides a platform for
hardware development environment for wireless microcontroller applications with
a USB interface.
1.1 Overview
The DR1198 JN5168-001-U00 Dongle provides an easy way of interfacing a
host machine (such as a PC) to a wireless network based on the IEEE802.15.4,
JenNet-IP, ZigBee Light Link, ZigBee Smart Energy and RF4CE
networking applications. The dongle incorporates the NXP JN5168 wireless
microcontroller, allowing a direct USB connection between the host machine and
the JN5168 device, which then 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, JenNet-IP, ZigBee Light Link, ZigBee Smart Energy
and RF4CE 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 Co-ordinator
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 dongle is shown below.

2.2 Dongle Block Diagram
2.3 FT232L Device
The FT232L device is connected to the USB connector and acts as an interface
between the PC and the JN5168 device. The FT232L will enumerate on the PC
as a virtual COM port connected directly to UART0 on the JN5168.
2.4 JN5168 Device
The JN5168 circuit is based around the standard JN-RD-6038 JN5168 reference
design; however it is built on a 2 layer board as the DIOs do not need to be
externally available.

2.5 LEDs
There are two surface-mounted LEDs that can be controlled by the JN5148
wireless microcontroller (see Figure 2 for locations):
LED D1 which is green
LED D2 which is orange
Both LEDs are connected to DIO16 and DIO17. These DIOs can be used to
control the LEDs as indicated in the table below.
2.6 32-kHz Crystal Oscillator
The JN5168 has an internal 32-kHz RC oscillator. In order to provide more
accurate system timings, an external 32-kHz crystal can be used with the device.
This is provided on the USB dongle and can be enabled using the JN516x
Integrated Peripherals API - refer to JN516x Integrated Peripherals API User
Guide (JN-UG-3087).

3 Programming
When the IEEE 802.15.4 USB Dongle is powered up, it attempts to load an
application from the internal Flash and then run the application. 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 to an application running on the host, such as a Windows program, and
communicate with a wireless device or network.
In order to program the serial Flash memory device, the JN51xx Flash
Programmer can be used, which is described in the JN51xx Flash Programmer
User Guide (JN-UG-3007). This programming utility will place the JN5168 into its
programming mode. It will then download the program to the Flash device and
then reset the JN5168, causing the application to be loaded and executed.
