Solving Problems in Reading/Flashing JN516x Modules

I've noticed that many members here specially those who are new to dealing with JN516x modules ,are having difficulties reading and programming modules during first time usage.
So I thought of writing this document as a starting point

First think of device drivers
-Check USB device driver on your PC before diving into connection to make sure it's installed correctly

Check Connections
Follow these connections when flashing
-> Make sure you connect RX of programmer ->TX of module and vice versa
-> VDD of module -> 3.3v ( not higher or lower )
-> GND of module -> ground
-> SPIMISO -> Ground
-> RESET -> Ground (while SPIMISO is on ground ) then 3.3v and then leave it on 3.3v

Check Power

It may seem trivial but it's often the cause of many problems
-> Make sure of the voltage on every connected pin
-> If you're using an external power source ( not from USB ) during programming , make sure both GND are connected together

Flashing/Reading the module now should succeed

Post Programming
This is an important step that you don't want to forget
After programming make sure you return SPIMISO pin to 3.3v before doing a RESET else the code will be removed ( this might have been you're problem )

I hope this help
Let me know if it worked for you and also in case of any suggested edits

First of, thanks for wanting to help!

However, your instructions are totally unclear, especially about the reset.

You write the reset has to be connected to ground while SPIMISO is. After programming SPIMISO should be returned to 3.3v.

So.. is this the correct way?

1) connect SPIMISO and RESET to ground

2) program/flash device

3) connect SPIMISO and RESET to 3.3v

4) reset device.

Ah.. i found the culprit, it was the baudrate. After selecting the lowest baudrate, it started working.

For other people who are confused about the above instructions, this is the full writeout:

1) connect everything as described, and SPIMISO to ground

2) connect reset to ground

3) connect reset to 3.3v

4) flash the device on the lowes baudrate settings

5) connect SPIMISO to 3.3v

6) reset device.
