Custom device using nrf5340, with NFC card emulation functionality.
To use the NFC, I understand that I should use the supplied nfc_t4t library (binary) and its api. I have this working ok for type 4 card emulation using the NDEF application functionality built in to the library..
I now need to create an application that will emulate other functions, and so I am trying to the use the library in 'raw APDU' mode. This is basically working, but I have run into a timeout issue : certain elements of my APDU processing can take some 10's of ms, and this is apparently causing my nfc reader to timeout its request. This causes the library to have some issues : I get logs like this:
[00:05:13.375,488] <err> nfc_platform: Tried to read data pointer: 4 bytes, read 0.
[00:05:13.375,488] <err> nfc_platform: Reading nfc ring buffer failed, resetting ring buffer.
I think these are basically when I do the nfc_t4t_response_pdu_send() call to send the response PDU. Any ideas on what this means for my operation?
The reader never manages to get a valid response, this seems to be related to the time it takes for my code to process the APDU (around 35ms for a basic select operation, due to it being sent to a ISO7816 contact card for processing...). In the NFC spec I see this:
"When the Card Emulator needs more time than the defined FWT to process the received block, it uses an S(WTX) request for a waiting time extension. An S(WTX) request contains a 1-byte INF field as specified in Table 84"
How can I tell the library that I want it to send this S(WTX) frame? It seems it needs to be sent for each received command? The only param I see to set is the FWI (which sets the max FWT as I understand it). When I try to set this to the max (before doing nfc_t4t_setup()) :
