JN-AN-1069 802.15.4 Wireless UART with Flow Control

This Application Note describes how to create a wireless UART link between the UARTs on two evaluation kit boards. The features of the application include:

• Replacement of serial cables with wireless connectivity
• Quick addition of low-cost wireless connectivity to products using a UART link for communications
• UART hardware flow control using the RTS/CTS lines to control the flow of data into and out of the UART
• Flow control using a simple protocol to control the flow of data over the radio

NOTE: This Application Note now supports both SDK1 and SDK2 Application directories of the latest toolchain releases for the JN5139 and JN5148. Please refer to the section "Building and Loading the Application" in the Application note for details
