nRF52 as NFC reader and BLE

Is it possible to use NFC and BLE two kinds of functions at the same time in the nRF52 series chip.

  • As @endnode has pointed out, the NFCT peripheral on the nRF52832 can only be used as a NFC Tag (i.e. NFC Forum compliant listening device NFC-A), please see this page on our Infocenter.

    Hi guys.

    Quick question, why would the Product Specification document specify TX and RX frame starts and ends, size, etc if the hardware can't do bi-directional communications? Also, from the link Bjorn posted:

    "Frame assemble and disassemble for the NFC-A frames specified by the NFC Forum"

    Why would it be able to disassemble frames if it can't act as a reader? From what I can understand with e-mail communications with Nordic is that bi-directional communications are possible on hardware level, but the library does not support it, which leaves the user to have to write their own library.

    I have logged a ticket as suggested regarding more information about library development for two way communications. It would be interesting to hear comments and I will also give feedback on gained knowledge.
