Upgrade firmware

 

 

A wireless network comprises a set of nodes that can communicate with each other 

by means of radio transmissions according to a set of routing rules (for passing messages between 
nodes). ZigBee network includes three types of node: 

 

1)

 

Coordinator: 

This is the first node to be started and is responsible for forming the network by 

allowing other node to join the network through it. 

2)

 

Router: 

This is the node with routing capability, and is also able to send/receive data. 

3)

 

End device: 

Only capability to send/receive data. 

 

Different device role should burn different image. Burn the latest firmware using 

JN51xx Flash 

Programmer

. Four steps are required as below:
