JN5139 IEEE802.15.4/JenNet Evaluation Kit

Jennic's IEEE802.15.4/JenNet evaluation kit provides a complete environment for the rapid development of wireless connectivity applications based on the JN5139 wireless microcontroller. All the hardware and software required for product development is included, with five network nodes, an unrestricted software development kit, test environment and examples. Libraries are provided for IEEE802.15.4 and for the JenNet networking layer, which supports star, tree and linear networks up to 1000 nodes and provides self-healing functionality for robust communications.

A demonstration home automation system is included that monitors data from remote sensors and displays the results onto the controller's LCD display, while commands sent between the nodes activate control signals.

The test environment includes an evaluation of Daintree Networks' Sensor Network Analyser for IEEE802.15.4 wireless sensor network monitoring (30 days support).  A basic packet sniffer and network test application also aids program development.
