Using CLEV663B Blueboard Rev3 with Raspberry Pi 3 and I2C

Hi everyone,

For some time now, I'm trying to get the CLEV663B Blueboard Rev3 working with the Raspberry Pi. With no luck, I've tried using SPI and since I will have to use I2C in the end, I'm now trying to communicate via I2C.

The CLEV663B is functionnal using a LPC11U68 and SPI.

For my latest tests, you will find below my configuration :

- NXPNFCRDLIB LINUX SW PACKAGE (v4.040.05.011646_20161115) , sw3693.zip.

The only file modified in the package is the NxpNfcRdLib/types/ph_NxpBuild_Lpc.h and here the modifications :

comment line 64 :

//#define NXPBUILD_PH_LPC1769

uncomment line 67 :

#define NXPBUILD_PH_RASPBERRY_PI

comment line 85 and uncomment line 86 :

//#define NXPBUILD_PHBAL_REG_LINUX_USER_SPI
#define NXPBUILD_PHBAL_REG_LINUX_USER_I2C

comment line 96 and uncomment line 97 :

//#define NXPBUILD_PHHAL_HW_RC523
#define NXPBUILD_PHHAL_HW_RC663

Soldering on the CLEV663B :

I have removed R15, R26 and R21 and placed the 0R resistor on R29, R16 and R20 (as instructed in AN11211).

Pinout CLEV663B / RPi :

Following the file NxpNfcRdLib/intfs/phPlatform_Port_Pi_RC633.h, here how I connect my two devices :

Pins for 3.3V, 5V and GND are classicaly connected. The USB alim is also connected.

Raspberry PI 3	CLEV663B REV 3
PIN 3 (GPIO2)	SDA
PIN 5 (GPIO3)	SCL
PIN 7 (GPIO4)	AD0
PIN 11 (GPIO17)	AD1
PIN 13 (GPIO27)	P2.4
PIN 15 (GPIO22)	P2.5
PIN 16 (GPIO23)	P3.3
PIN 18 (GPIO24)	RST

First of all, when I use `i2cdetect` on Raspbian to find the slave adress of the blueboard, frames leave the RPi but no answer from the Blueboard.

I deduce from the datasheet that the slave adress should be 0x28 (as configured in the config file). When I run the first example from the lib, I received the following error (continuously looping on it) :

Line : 189 Error - (0x010B) has occured : 0xCCEE CC-Component ID, EE-Error code

So according to the ph_Status.h, it's an error from RC communication in BAL Component Code.

Is someone have a hint or a solution to that particular issue ?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Florian Jouffreau

Good day,

I have the CLRC66303 connected over i2c to the Raspberry pi. I see the address "2b" with i2c detect.

Is there any example in C or Python just to see if the whole thing it is working ?

Thank you,
Catalin
