X-NUCLEO-NFC05A1

[cnc_freak]

Hello.

I try to read a Tag 2 type Mifare classic 1K, card on the nRF52840 DK, together with the X-NUCLEO-NFV05A1 board.

I run the application "Tag_reader" on the nRF52840 DK and i get the response (NFC transfer error: -1).

Why is this happens?

Regards.

In the datasheet of the nfc05a1,is mentioned that "Transparent and Stream modes to implement MIFARE Classic compliant or other custom protocols".

Is the st25R3911 library support such modes?

Regards.

Hi,

As far as I can see, this is third-party and not directly related to Nordic. I think you have to direct your question to ST Microelectronics.

The interfacing of the X-NUCLEO-NFC05A1 board, on the nRF52840 DK is done by Nordic and by using the application Tag_reader, there are a st25r3911b library, which is made from Nordic.

At those four *.c files i'm refering.

Hi,

Yes, we have a library for this shield and use it in our NFC examples, but that doesn't meant that our library or our HW would support all of the features of the shield. MiFare is not a feature we support.

Ok . What kind of card type can i use to test the Tag-reader. All the cards i could find was mifare.

[Jared]

Any non-proprietary type 2 tag or type 4 tag. You can try using one of the Tag examples under the NFC samples list.

Hi Jared and everyone, May I follow up with this. I have the same issue eve though I used the Type 2 RFID. Below is 2 questions of mine:

1. I downloaded the drivers of the NFC reader as nordic recommended on tutorials of "Tag_reader", but I don't know how to add to nordic SDK in VScode. Are the driver files needed (as they are in *.c format)? If needed, how to integrate them to the sample code of tag reader given by the Nordic?

2. I used Arduino for the same NFC reader (NFC Reader ST25R3911B Nucleo expansion board (X-NUCLEO-NFC05A1)), and it worked very well. As far as I can see the nRF52840-Dk is inspired by the Arduino. I tried to used the same NFC with nRF52840-DK, it seems that the reader detected the tag, but didn't read the tag.

Any recommendation/suggestion is appreciated. Thanks
