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

[CurtisHx]

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.

I've thought libnfc is multiplatform (because it's C project built by cmake, isn't it?). It even explicitly says how to install on Linux on the GitHub so if you are fine with it working on Windows you should be set for all desktop systems!

Yes, I meant to say we got it to build on Linux (and not on Windows, because the MingW stuff is always a pain), but none of the software packages we tried on Linux really make it easy to read a type 4 tag. I just found this (nfc-tools.org/.../Related_links) so I will be checking out Pynfc and nfcpy. If all else fails libndef. It's a bit frustrating how difficult it is to read and write simple Ndef messages on a PC while it is so incredibly easy in Android Ndef ndef = Ndef.get(tag); ndef.connect(); NdefMessage msg = new NdefMessage(new NdefRecord(NdefRecord.TNF_WELL_KNOWN, NdefRecord.RTD_TEXT, new byte[0], data)); ndef.writeNdefMessage(msg);
