Product details
Overview
JENNET-IP-EK040 from NXP is an evaluation kit for JenNet-IP IPv6-based wireless sensor networking, featuring four wireless sensor nodes (JN5148-J01 and JN5142-J01 modules), two high-power USB dongles, a router with OpenWRT firmware, capacitive touch remote, Arduino-compatible shields with LED/dimming and environmental sensors, and full GNU/Eclipse SDK support.
For engineers reviewing the JENNET-IP-EK040 datasheet, JENNET-IP-EK040 pinout, JENNET-IP-EK040 application, or JENNET-IP-EK040 equivalent, this kit enables rapid prototyping of IPv6-enabled home automation, energy management, lighting control, and building security systems using IEEE 802.15.4 radio and 6LoWPAN stack integration.
Technical Context
The JENNET-IP-EK040 implements a complete JenNet-IP protocol stack - including IEEE 802.15.4 PHY/MAC, 6LoWPAN adaptation layer, UDP/IP network layer, and JIP application layer - enabling native IPv6 addressing for all wireless nodes. It supports self-healing tree topology and interoperability across heterogeneous endpoints.
Hardware includes dual-radio sensor nodes (JN5148-J01 with uFL/SMA antenna + JN5142-J01 with PCB + uFL/SMA), high-power USB coordinator/sniffer dongles, Ethernet-connected OpenWRT router, and Arduino-compatible shield interface with temperature/light/humidity sensing and dimmable white LEDs.

FAQ
What is the primary purpose of the JENNET-IP-EK040 evaluation kit?
The JENNET-IP-EK040 evaluation kit is a complete hardware and software platform for developing and demonstrating IPv6-based wireless sensor networks using JenNet-IP. It includes sensor nodes, USB dongles, router, remote control, shields, and SDK tools - all pre-integrated to enable immediate testing of lighting control, energy monitoring, and HVAC automation without custom hardware design. The JENNET-IP-EK040 supports end-to-end 6LoWPAN/IPv6 connectivity out of the box.
Which microcontrollers are used in the JENNET-IP-EK040 sensor nodes?
The JENNET-IP-EK040 uses two NXP JN514x-series modules: JN5148-J01 (dual-antenna configuration) and JN5142-J01 (PCB + uFL/SMA antenna). Both integrate ARM7TDMI cores, IEEE 802.15.4 transceivers, and flash/RAM sufficient to run the full JenNet-IP stack. The JENNET-IP-EK040 leverages these modules to deliver interoperable, addressable wireless endpoints in a single development kit.
Does the JENNET-IP-EK040 include software for application development?
Yes, the JENNET-IP-EK040 includes a full GNU-based SDK with C compiler, assembler, flash programmer, and GDB debugger integrated into Eclipse IDE. It also delivers the JenNet-IP protocol stack libraries, microcontroller peripheral drivers, and sample lighting control applications. This eliminates licensing fees and allows unrestricted development - a core feature of the JENNET-IP-EK040 platform.
Can the JENNET-IP-EK040 connect to standard IPv6 networks?
Yes, the JENNET-IP-EK040 router runs a customized OpenWRT Linux distribution with native 6LoWPAN/IPv6 bridging, enabling seamless integration with standard IPv6 infrastructure. Each wireless node receives a globally routable or unique-local IPv6 address, allowing direct access via web browser or smartphone JIP applications. The JENNET-IP-EK040 achieves true IP end-to-end connectivity without gateway translation.
What types of sensors and actuators are supported by the JENNET-IP-EK040 shields?
The JENNET-IP-EK040 includes Arduino-compatible shields with three dimmable bright white LEDs, plus integrated temperature, ambient light level, and relative humidity sensors. These are directly accessible via the JN514x IO expansion port and exposed through the JenNet-IP stack for real-time monitoring and control. All sensor and actuator functions are demonstrated in the out-of-the-box lighting demo shipped with the JENNET-IP-EK040.
