Any recommendations for PC NFC Reader / Writer for nRF52 devices?

Does anyone know of an off-the-shelf hardware and software that will let me read and write nRF52832 devices that are using the NFC Type 4 Library? We've tried the ACS ACR1252 and Indentive SCL3711 readers, along with a bunch of different software packages, and nothing has been able to read our nRF52 devices. The GoToTags Windows app looked the most promising, but it can't read the nRF52 through either readers.

Any suggestions?

Just for reference, the nRF52 devices are working great. We can read and write them from our Android phones. It's just the Windows PC hardware / software is extremely lacking and unclear.

  • Have you tried HID Global OmniKey readers? They provide SW package which should be able to read NXP Mifare DESFire cards hence NFC Forum NDEF Tag Type 4 should not be a problem (it is subset of DESFire command set, see this explanation). But if you already have some ISO14443-A capable contactless (NFC if you want) reader which has Windows drivers (or whatever platform you use) and you have some basic knowledge of ISO7816-3 and 4 Transport and Application PDUs (usually simplified under 4-latter abbreviation APDU) then you should be able to use some open source SWs (like GPshell or libnfc) and script your read/write sequence without big problems...
