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.
