  • Hello,

    The nRF's NFC is a passive NFC tag/target, and not an active NFC device/initiator, so it is not possible for two nRFs to communicate via the NFC antennas, unfortunately.

    Please see this post.

     

    So when doing NFC communication, you need one active NFC device (typically mobile phone) and one passive NFC device. For two NFC devices to communicate, you need at least one active device. To get this on an nRF, you will need some external HW, as discussed in the post above.
