Jennic’s JN5148-EK010 evaluation kit provides a complete environment for the development of ZigBee PRO, JenNet and IEEE802.15.4 applications based on the JN5148 wireless microcontroller. The kit contains a complete package of hardware and software, including five wireless sensor nodes, an unrestricted software developer kit (SDK), and example code.

The SDK provides a complete set of development tools, software libraries and APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) for programming and controlling the on-chip peripherals of the JN5148, for configuring and managing the network and for data communication.

Out of the box, the hardware nodes are pre-programmed and demonstrate an example home sensor demo that monitors the state of sensors on the wireless nodes and presents this information on the controller node’s LCD display.
