JN5169 Zigbee 3 JN-AN-12xx Import Problem

[lauriegellatly]

Hi,

I'm not able to get any of JN-AN-1217, JN-AN1220 or JN-AN-1229 projects imported.

I've selected the 5169 module for its low power consumption and range.

I eventually found this page: https://www.nxp.com/products/wireless/proprietary-ieee-802.15.4-based/zigbee/zigbee-3.0:ZIGBEE-3-0 and downloaded JN-SW-4141 v1308 and as per JN-UG-3098 v1.2 I installed it. Looked good. No issues using the default c:\NXP directory on windows 10.

I then installed JN-SW-4170 and following UG-3098 I added the Zigbee Plugins. (This is confusing as the documentation for ZigBee 3 says JenOS is not used any more yet there is a config plugin for it in 4170???) UG-3098 Chapter 1.2.3 step 4 refers to SW-4168 rather than SW-4170. The same zigbee URL page above says to use version 1.3 of 3098 but the link on that page provides V1.2?? I assumed I could substitute 4170 for 4168 as the SDK.

Following Chapter 2.2 of 3098 when I try to import any of the JN-ANs listed above there are no projects to open.

My ultimate goal is it have approximately 30 sleeping end devices reporting temperature readings and cell battery voltage to a coordinator. 

I'd really appreciate some guidance to get me started. What I hoped would be a simple project has turned into a never ending set of problems.

Thanks     ...Laurie:{)

Hi Mario,

Thanks for your reply but I've seen that already. 

Please confirm

1) that version 1.2 is the latest for UG-3098

2) 4170 is the replacement for 4168 as the SDK

Trying to import the ANs I unzipped them and then used the zip that is within the directory within the AN as the target for the import.

I tried just importing the 5169 project (as 517x is not supported in beyond) but when I tried that all the directories in the project can't be opened and (from the file system) there are no files in the directories.

Thanks    ...Laurie:{)

Hi Laurie,

1) that version 1.2 is the latest for UG-3098

Yes, is the latest version.

2) 4170 is the replacement for 4168 as the SDK.

The 4170 is for Zigbee 3 and the 4168 is for Zigbee HA or LL.

Please unzip the AN and be sure that not have another folder. For example:

C:\NXP\bstudio_nxp\workspace\JN-AN-1217-Zigbee-3-0-Base-Device.

Please let me know If you still have issues on this.

Regards,

Mario
