Hello! I Use JN5168 Chip，But I can't program it, I need help, Thanks!

1. I can read JN5168's MAC， so I think the connect is right.

2. But when I Program It, Failed.

3. However, Althougth I can't program. But I can Erase EEPROM.

I don't know why the program failed, I need help, thanks very much!

Hello

JN5168 is not recommended for new designs (No new software releases planned). We highly recommend moving to the JN5189 Wireless MCU for Zigbee® and Thread, It is supported by our MCUXpresso IDE and MCUXpresso SDK.

I would recommend you review the JN-UG-3099 JN51xx Production Flash Programmer User Guide this guide provide the instructions for JN51xx Flash Programmer software tool.

We provide the JN51xx Production Flash Programmer JN-SW-4107. that could help you with the programming process; Please note that the user interface you referenced is no longer supported

Best Regards,

Luis

Thanks Luis for your reply，I try to program by JN-SW-4107. It successed, How happy! But I don't know why I use "NXP JN51xx Flash Programmer" GUI，It failed.

Great to hear that! The GUI is no longer supported so I would recommend switching entirely to the Flash programmer CLI tool in JN-SW-4107.
