Introduction

Chapter&1:&Getting&Started!

1.1 Introduction!

MeshBee® is a 2.4 GHz wireless zigbee RF module. It use microchip JN516x from NXP that

enables several different flvors of standards-based zigbee mesh networking. Our released firmware

fully supports Zigbee Pro stack. You can use MeshBee® in three different ways:

Master Mode: the factory firmware warps the complicated Zigbee stack operation into a few

easy to use serial commands(AT commands).

Slave Mode: for a complex mesh network, a host application can send API frames to the

MeshBee® that contain short address and payload information instead of using AT command.

Transparent Mode: MeshBee® can also work as a transparent serial communication node that

can be part of a simple point-to-point connection. When operating in this mode, the modules act as a

serial line replacement - all UART data received through UART1 is directly send to a specified

remote node.

Installing IDE

1.2 Installing&IDE!

NXP provides full-scale development environment, tools and documents. The development

environment consists of the SDK toolchain and the ZigBee stack SDK. Please visit NXP's website to

get some detailed description: http://www.nxp.com/techzones/wireless-connectivity/smart-energy.html

To create the development environment, perform these steps:

1) Install JN-SW-4041 SDK Toolchain to default disk: C:/

2) Install JN-SW-4064 ZigBee Smart Energy SDK to default disk: C:/

3) Install JN-SW-4067-JN516x ZigBee Home Automation SDK to default disk C:/

Note: MeshBee’s factory firmware is developed on top of the

smart energy profile.

Installing IDE

When finished the installing, you can test the tool chain if you are not sure whether it is

successful or not. Perform these steps:

1) Clone the latest firmware source code from github.

2) Copy the source code folder to C:/Jennic/Application/.

3) Open Jennic Bash Shell.

4) Type these shell commands:

cd MeshBeeMasterBranch

cd build

./build.sh

Note: The developing toolchain supports windows only. For

Linux and Mac users, a windows VM is recommended.

Note: execute ./build.sh or ./build_xxx_clean.sh

+ ./build_xxx.sh. Make sure the “clean” step was taken.

Installing IDE

If three binary files are generated successfully, congratulations, you have finished allthe

preparation work.

Open eclipse IDE and import the project, you can catch a glimpse of the firmware:

To edit the .oscfgdiag file and .zpscfg file, you should install the eclipse plugins according to the guide in

section 6.2.2 in <SDK Installation and User Guide.pdf>.

Setting up the MeshBee

1.3 Setting&up&the&MeshBee!

To assemble your experimental environment, perform the following steps:

1) Step1: Insert MeshBee into the socket of UartBeeV5;

2) Step2: Connecting UartBeeV5 with PC by USB port;

Setting up the MeshBee

Note: Switch the SW to “3V3” and SW3 to “Prog” position at

first.

Upgrade firmware

1.4 Upgrade&firmware!

A wireless network comprises a set of nodes that can communicate with each other

by means of radio transmissions according to a set of routing rules (for passing messages between

nodes). ZigBee network includes three types of node:

1) Coordinator: This is the first node to be started and is responsible for forming the network by

allowing other node to join the network through it.

2) Router: This is the node with routing capability, and is also able to send/receive data.

3) End device: Only capability to send/receive data.

Different device role should burn different image. Burn the latest firmware using JN51xx Flash

Programmer. Four steps are required as below:
