- Integrated ultra low power sleep oscillator – 0.6μA
- Deep sleep current 0.12μA (Wake-up from IO)
- Time of Flight engine for ranging
- Antenna Diversity (Auto RX)
- 2.0V to 3.6V battery operation
- Supply voltage monitor with 8 programmable thresholds
- Built-in battery and temperature sensors
- Infra-red remote control transmitter

Requirements
To start using JN516x with Contiki, the following are required:
- The toolchain and Software Development Kit to compile Contiki for JN516x
- Drivers so that your OS can communicate with your hardware
- Software to upload images to the JN516x
Install a Toolchain
The toolchain used to build Contiki for JN516x is ba-elf-gcc.
The compiler as well as the binary libraries required to link the executables can be downloaded from NXP. To express your interest in obtaining them, go to NXP 802.15.4 software page, select "JN-SW-4163", and contact the NXP support through the web form. The download link is then obtained via e-mail (allow 1+ working day for a reply).
The example applications in this port have been tested with compiler version gcc-4.7.4-ba-r36379.
Linux and Windows instructions:
- On Linux: A compiled version for linux 64-bit is available: download this and this file, extract both in
/usr/ba-elf-gccsuch and add/usr/ba-elf-gcc/binto your$PATHenvironment variable. Place the JN516x SDK under/usr/jn516x-sdk. - On Windows: Run the setup program and select
C:/NXP/bstudio_nxp/as install directory. Also make sure your PATH environment variable points to the compiler binaries (by default inC:/NXP/bstudio_nxp/sdk/Tools/ba-elf-ba2-r36379/bin).
Drivers
The JN516x platforms feature FTDI serial-to-USB modules. The driver is commonly found in most OS, but if required it can be downloaded from http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm
Device Enumerations
For the UART, serial line settings are 1000000 8N1, no flow control.
Once all drivers have been installed correctly:
- On Windows, devices will appear as a virtual COM port.
- On Linux and OS X, devices will appear as
/dev/tty*.
Software to Program the Nodes
The JN516x can be programmed via the serial boot loader on the chip.
- On Linux, nodes can be programmed via the serial boot loader using the JennicModuleProgrammer tool. It is pre-installed under
tools/jn516x/JennicModuleProgrammer. - On Windows, nodes are programmed using NXP's Flash Programmer. There are two versions of it: GUI and command line. The Contiki make system is configured to use the command line version. By default it looks for the programmer in the SDK base directory under
Tools/flashprogrammer/FlashCLI.exe. With the default SDK installation path the file should be located underC:/NXP/bstudio_nxp/sdk/JN-SW-4163/Tools/flashprogrammer/FlashCLI.exe. Modifyplatforms/jn516x/Makefile.commonto change this default location.
Using the Port
The following examples are intended to work off-the-shelf:
- Platform-specific examples under
examples/jn516x - All platform-independent Contiki application examples
Building an example
To build the classic "hello world" example, navigate to examples/hello-world. It is recommended to either set the TARGET environmental variable or to save the jn516x platform as the default make target. To do that, run:
make TARGET=jn516x savetarget
Then run make hello-world to compile the application for JN516x platform.
Uploading an example
Run the upload command to program the binary image on it:
make hello-world.upload MOTE=0
The MOTE argument is used to specify to which of the ports the device is connected. For example, if there is a single mote connected to /dev/ttyUSB3 in Linux (or, alternatively, COM3 in Windows), the right command would be:
make hello-world.upload MOTE=3
Note that on Windows, the FTDI drivers are able to switch the board to programming mode before uploading the image.
On Linux, the drivers are not able to do so yet. We use a modified bootloader for JN516x, where nodes wait 5s in programming mode after a reset. You simply need to reset them before using make upload. The modified bootloader can be downloaded here and installed using a JTAG programmer, or alternatively, this image can be installed as a normal application using the normal Windows tools. Once the device resets, this application will run and will then install the new boot loader. It generates some status output over UART0 at 115200 baud during this process. Warning: use the images above at your risk; NXP does not accept responsibility for any devices that are rendered unusable as a result of using it.
Listening to output
Run the login command to start the serialdump application.
make login MOTE=3
On Linux: after the application has started, press the reset button on the node.

Troubleshooting: you need a working Python installation for these commands to work. On Windows, make sure Python executable is in your PATH.
Compiling for different MCUs and boards
The platforms can selected by using Makefile variables.
The following MCU models are supported:
JN5164- 160kB/32kB/4kB Flash/RAM/EEPROMJN5168- 256kB/32kB/4kB Flash/RAM/EEPROM (default MCU)JN5169- 512kB/32kB/4kB Flash/RAM/EEPROM
Set CHIP variable to change this; for example, to select JN5164 use:
make CHIP=JN5164
The following platform-specific configurations are supported:
- DR1174 evaluation kit; enable this with
JN516x_WITH_DR1174 = 1in your makefile - DR1174 with DR1175 sensor board; enable this with
JN516x_WITH_DR1175 = 1(will setJN516x_WITH_DR1174automatically) - DR1174 with DR1199 sensor board; enable this with
JN516x_WITH_DR1199 = 1(will setJN516x_WITH_DR1174automatically) - USB dongle; enable this with
JN516x_WITH_DONGLE = 1
Node IEEE/RIME/IPv6 Addresses
Nodes will autoconfigure their IPv6 address based on their 64-bit IEEE/MAC address. The 64-bit MAC address is read directly from JN516x System on Chip. The 16-bit RIME address and the Node ID are set from the last 16-bits of the 64-bit MAC address.
