Product details
Overview
JN5148-EK010,596 from Jennic Ltd is a ZigBee PRO evaluation kit built around the JN5148 wireless microcontroller, containing five pre-programmed sensor nodes, two high-power modules (20 dBm), and an unrestricted GNU/Eclipse-based SDK for rapid development of certified ZigBee PRO applications in smart energy and building automation.
For engineers reviewing the JN5148-EK010,596 datasheet, JN5148-EK010,596 pinout, JN5148-EK010,596 application, or JN5148-EK010,596 equivalent, this kit delivers out-of-box home sensor demo functionality, ZigBee Compliant Platform certification, ECC-based Smart Energy security support, Daintree Sensor Network Analyser integration, and JTAG debug readiness with external tools.
Technical Context
The JN5148-EK010,596 implements a full ZigBee PRO protocol stack certified to ZigBee Alliance standards, with hardware-level support for IEEE 802.15.4-2006 PHY/MAC and ZigBee PRO 2007 network layer. It integrates JN5148 modules featuring 32-bit RISC CPU, 192 KB Flash, 128 KB RAM, and dual antenna options (PCB + uFL/SMA).
Each node includes onboard temperature, light-level, and humidity sensors; one node adds a 128×64 bitmapped LCD. The kit supports both battery and external power, and provides USB-based flash programming and serial communication via included cables.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the JN5148-EK010,596 evaluation kit?
The JN5148-EK010,596 evaluation kit serves as a complete hardware-software platform for developing and validating ZigBee PRO applications using the JN5148 wireless microcontroller. It includes five sensor nodes, two high-power modules, an unrestricted SDK, and pre-loaded home sensor demo firmware - enabling immediate testing of mesh networking, sensor data aggregation, and LCD-based UI presentation without code modification.
Does the JN5148-EK010,596 include ZigBee PRO stack certification documentation?
Yes, the JN5148-EK010,596 is based on Jennic's "ZigBee Compliant Platform" certified hardware and software stack. Certification evidence includes official ZigBee Alliance conformance test reports referenced in the JN5148-EK010 product brief, confirming compliance with ZigBee PRO 2007 profiles and IEEE 802.15.4-2006 PHY/MAC layers.
Can the JN5148-EK010,596 be used for Smart Energy profile development?
Yes, the JN5148-EK010,596 supports Smart Energy profile development through its integrated ECC library (licensed from Certicom) and ZigBee PRO stack extensions. The JN5148-EK010,596 enables secure key exchange, metering data encryption, and SE-specific cluster implementation - validated in Jennic's application notes and supported by Daintree Sensor Network Analyser for SE message inspection.
What debugging interfaces does the JN5148-EK010,596 support?
The JN5148-EK010,596 supports hardware debugging via the JTAG port on each JN5148 module. While no JTAG debugger is included, the kit is compatible with standard ARM-compatible JTAG probes, and Jennic provided application notes detailing Eclipse/GDB integration - allowing full source-level debugging of JN5148-EK010,596 firmware during development.
Is the JN5148-EK010,596 still supported for new designs?
The JN5148-EK010,596 remains available for legacy design support and educational use, though NXP (which acquired Jennic in 2010) has transitioned to newer platforms like the JN516x and KW40Z families. Aetrix Electronics maintains inventory and technical documentation for JN5148-EK010,596 to support ongoing maintenance and migration planning for existing ZigBee PRO deployments.
