NFC-READER-LIBRARY

Roll over image to zoom in

Feature complete software support library for NFC Frontend ICs. Designed to give developers a faster and simpler way to deliver NFC-enabled products. This multi-layer library, written in C, makes it easy to create NFC based applications. Special features, including interrupt-based event handling, Free RTOS support and MISRA-C compliancy, are provided along with the NFC Reader Library. The software is designed in a way to be easily portable to many different microcontrollers.

Since Android 12, P2P functionality is not included by default in the main package. Moreover this functionality has never been supported by iOS devices. P2P is slowly removed from the market. At NFC Forum, the P2P functionality is not available for the Reader device class since CR13 and NXP does not expect any significant changes on the defined functionality. For this reason NXP plans to stop the maintenance of the P2P functionality in the NFC Reader library from 2024 onwards. The existing library versions which include the P2P support will be still available for download
