Atomic has a license agreement with NXP that gave us access to all source code in 2013. We have continued to develop JenNet (now called JenieJenNet to differentiate it from JenNet-IP) for all of our customers and have fed bugs back to NXP as required. We now have JenieJenNet SDKs running on the JN5168 and JN5169 which have bug fixes and feature enhancements.
Atomic offers support contracts that gives you access to the following:
1) Latest version of the JenieJenNet SDK for use with Beyond Studio for NXP. The SDK is backwards compatible with previous versions from NXP (including security).
2) The Atomic version has a number of new features that can optionally be enabled such as
• Time server support - UTC time can be passed across the network to allow each node to synchronize the time.
• Built in support for energy and active scanning to improve Wi-Fi countermeasures.
• ExtendedBeaconRequests that can be customized to reduce the number beacons generated and improve joining time
• MiniMac support reducing the code size compared to older NXP releases.
• Debugger support in Beyond Studio using the Beyond Debug Key.
3) Packet sniffer - We had an issue using the Ubiqua sniffer recommended by NXP as Ubiqua does not support the MAC2003 security mode implemented in JenieJenNet. We do have an application that functions as a sniffer and uses the same USB Dongles and binaries that are used with Ubiqua as these are released as part of the NXP SDK. On non encrypted packet you will just see a list of bytes in the bottom right. On encrypted packets you will see two lists of bytes. The lower list is the decrypted data.
4) Updated User Guide and release notes including porting from the older eclipse based solution
5) Updated example applications demonstrating the new features.
6) Unlimited Email support. We aim to give an initial response the same day during weekdays
JenNet is suitable for a wide range of applications, covering both commercial and domestic
use, which include:
• Point-to-point cable replacement (e.g. wireless mouse, remote controls, toys)
• Security systems (e.g. fire and intruder)
• Environmental control (e.g. heating and air-conditioning)
• Lighting control
• Home automation (e.g. home entertainment, doors, gates, curtains and blinds)
• Automated meter reading (AMR)
• Industrial automation (e.g. plant monitoring and control)
JenNet's wireless communications also enable some applications to be developed that
currently cannot be implemented with cabled systems. Examples are applications that
involve mobility, which must be free of cabling (e.g. asset tracking in warehouses). Existing
applications (such as lighting control and industrial plant monitoring) that currently rely on
cable-based systems can be implemented more cheaply, as JenNet reduces or removes
cable installation costs. It can also be beneficial in environments where cable-based
solutions can be difficult and expensive to install - for example, in home security systems,
sensors need to be easy to install (no cables or power supply wiring), small and selfcontained
(battery-powered).
Note: Atomic Programming can also offer you design services including:
• Porting applications to Beyond Studio
• Developing applications
• Designing hardware
Once validated with a support contract you can register on the Atomic Website by selecting 'Log In' from the contact menu. You should then select 'Register...'
You will then be able to access the additional downloads.
