The NXP analog product development boards provide an easy-to-use platform for evaluating NXP products. The boards support a range of analog, mixed-signal and power solutions. They incorporate monolithic integrated circuits and system-in-package devices that use proven high-volume technology. NXP products offer longer battery life, a smaller form factor, reduced component counts, lower cost, and improved performance in powering state-of-the-art systems.
This page will guide you through the process of setting up and using the TEA2017DK1002 programming board.
The TEA2017DK1002 contents include:
In addition to the kit contents, the following hardware is necessary or beneficial when working with this kit.
This board can be used for programming small series of TEA2017 and/or TEA2016 samples. Place the jumper on the board in the position that corresponds with the IC to be programmed. By connecting both the 3pin and 6pin connector to the USB-I2C programming interface, regular production samples and development samples can be programmed after selecting the correct channel with the switch on the USB-I2C interface.
Adding an IC socket (not included) makes the programming board suitable for programming small series of ICs. By connecting both 3-pin and 6-pin cables, TEA2016AAT and TEA2016AAT dev samples can be programmed by selecting the correct channel by the switch on the USB-I2C interface.
The TEA2017AAT digital architecture is based on a high-speed configurable hardware state machine ensuring very reliable real-time performance.
Several parameters can easily be configured during evaluation with use of the Graphical User Interface (GUI):
TEA2017AAT samples can be easily programmed using the TEA20xx_SOCKET_DB1586 board in connection with the TEA2016DB1514v2 demo kit and the GUI.
TEA2017 Programming board (SO16 socket)
Both TEA2017AAT and TEA2017AATdev samples can be programmed by means of the TEA20xx_Socket_DB1586 board + I2C interface (RDK01DB1563). The selector switch on the I2C interface must be set in the right position prior to programming TEA2017AAT or TEA2017AATdev samples. The TEA20xx_Socket_DB1586 board also contains a jumper to enable programming of TEA2016 samples.

Hotels around the world have, for decades, used cards with magnetic stripes as room keys. They’re inexpensive and easy to issue, but they have serious limitations when it comes to security, interoperability and ease of use. They can be erased, leaving guests locked out and are vulnerable to being copied or forged, which can lead to unwanted consequences.
Two newcomers to the field – Near Field Communication (NFC) and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) – give hotels an alternative to mag-stripes and, at the same time, make it easier to meet guest demand to use smartphones and other devices as access credentials. NFC and BLE offer the benefits of mobile integration and an enhanced guest experience, with greater convenience and security and also enable new services.
NFC and BLE are compatible technologies that can coexist in the same components, so implementations can be very flexible. For the time being, BLE is supported by more mobile devices, but this is changing. NFC, which is based on widespread contactless smartcard technology, is on the rise. It’s designed for higher security and uses protocols that are form-factor independent. Also, since NFC is the predominant technology for public transport, shared mobility and various other applications, it offers options for extending the capabilities of hotel keys.
What this adds up to, is increased use of NFC for hotel cards, driven by three things:
NFC is designed to support multiple applications in one card or device, so a single card or device can be used to open doors, make payments, earn loyalty points, rent a bike, access a rental car, access local public transport and more. Hotels can enhance guest experiences through more services, and can pursue cross-branding opportunities to expand their offering. Since NFC-based cards and devices can be configured multiple times, for different purposes, add-ons can be earned through rewards programs or paid subscription, and the card system itself can accommodate new features and functions over time.
NFC cards, smartphones and wearables can all be processed by infrastructure devices, such as locks, in the same way. This facilitates the coexistence of different form factors, making the integration of a loyalty card or a mobile device much simpler. Instead of dealing with multiple technologies, solution providers and hotel operators can focus on their main objective — guest satisfaction. The wristband or smartphone app can be configured for partner services, for discounts at local restaurants, shops, museums, amusement parks, sporting venues and other attractions. Location services can be added, too, so families and groups don’t get lost, even in large resorts.
Because NFC is based on contactless smartcard technology, it’s designed for scalable security. NFC cards and devices support a wide range of globally accepted countermeasures against common attacks:
Through the support of state-of-the-art cryptographic algorithms, like 3DES and AES, guests and their valuables are protected with the same high level of security that banks use to protect financial transactions.
The NXP approach
As the global innovation leader for secure connections, NXP supports both technologies – NFC and BLE – and supports secure, convenient, and cost-effective usage of both technologies. For example, our MIFARE family, which is fully compatible with NFC, offers high quality solutions for guest cards and loyalty cards.
MIFARE options
MIFARE Ultralight EV1
The most cost-effective solution for limited-use applications.
MIFRAE Ultralight C
Designed as a limited-use, high-volume IC, it uses the open 3DES cryptographic standard for chip authentication and data access, and provides entry-level security for key storage and authentication.
MIFARE Plus SE
This latest version of MIFARE, which is a competitive alternative for existing MIFARE Classic systems, makes it possible to increase security in systems that are already in use.
MIFARE DESFire EV1 256B
MIFARE DESFire EV1 is the global benchmark for multi-application solutions, and this upcoming entry-level version offers a wide range of available applications, including integration with banking cards and mobile cards.
Contactless infrastructure
Our extensive portfolio of NFC-compliant devices enables migration to newer technologies. We support standardized, generic data structures and protocols. The products most often used in hospitality are the PN512, CLRC663 and CLRC630.
BLE integration
With the family, NXP has a competitive offering for BLE integration. Targeting applications like wearables, IoT and smart home, QN9000 devices are designed for ultra-low power consumption and high sensitivity and use a system-on-chip (SoC) design to enable high levels of integration.
