NFC example for nRF52

[jhowkins]

During the webcast earlier this week, we were shown a phone pairing with the nRF52 dev board using NFC.

Is the code used for that NFC demo available as an example project?

@jhowkins: The NFC hardware is ready on the preview chip. But for now there is no NFC stack or example is provided in the nRF52 SDK v0.9. We will update the stack shortly.

Any progress on NFC? I have no idea on how to use it on my nRF52 DK. Any example to implement it. Any mbed code? Can we use the NFC as a reader or is it planned only as a TAG?

There are examples in newest SDK13. Did you check it?

Thank you so much for your answer. I have bigger basic problem I think I am using the 52832 but on my board it is written PCA 10040 which is impossible to understand what is what on the Nordic documentation. My actual question what SDK can my board run? Can I run the SDK13?

NFC interface on nRF52 chips can only emulate card (tag or PICC if you want), if cannot work as "NFC reader". It's clearly explained in the Product Specification, several blog posts and numerous Q&As on this forum.

When it comes to compatibility there is matrix for each chip in terms of what revision is on what Dev Kit board (revision) and what SDK + Soft Device + documentation are compatible (means tested by Nordic, it's possible that you can run also other variants).
