NFC_Reader_Library examples issues with CLEV6630A v2.0 (RedCard)

dmpham — Mon, 30 Jul 2018 14:43:31 GMT

Hi,

My question is about what is the right example/demo for the CLEV6630A v2.0

(RedCard) purchased from this link:

https://www.nxp.com/products/identification-and-security/nfc/nfc-reader-ics/mfrc630-and-slrc610-nfc-frontend-development-board:CLEV6630A

With NXP NFC Cockpit v4.7.0.0, I can flash the board with the firmware

"BootLoader_And_Nfcrdlib_SimplifiedAPI_EMVCo_Secondary.bin" and then do some basic

operation like reading UID, testing LPCD mode etc

But, when I try examples from " NFC_Reader_Library"… It looks like that nothing

works as description in the following documents

AN11022

CLRC663 Evaluation board quick start guide

Rev. 1.5 — 28 May 2018

AN11211

CLRC663 Software Quick start guide

Rev. 2.7 — 17 January 2018

For the basic example " NfcrdlibEx1_BasicDiscoveryLoop" (and many other), the

programs get stuck somewhere at waiting for IRQ from mifare chip. The same

problem happens with other examples too.

The only debug text that I have at the console is " BasicDiscoveryLoop Example: "

So, do I need to do some more configurations ? May I did something wrong ?

As default, as saying in document, example are done for CLEV6630B card (BlueCard)

with SPI config, RTOS or not RTOS.

The CLEV6630A is the same with CLEV6630B, only CLRC6630 is different.

Sincerely.

This board is for MIFARE^® and NTAG^® frontend MFRC630 and ICODE^® frontend SLRC610, please use NFC reader library 4.03 instead.

Have a great day,
Kan

Hi,

I tried examples from "NFC reader library 4.03" and the problem is still there ("C:\nxp\NFCReaderLibraryForCLEV663B-04.030.00.011627").

Regarding the document AN11022, these examples are done by default for CLEV663B v3.0 and CLEV6630A V2.0 (SPI config).

2. Take an example "NfcrdlibEx4_MIFAREClassic", from the file Readme.txt

9 List of supported NFC Reader Boards/ICs
=========================================
1) PNEV512B Blueboard 1.5
2) CLEV663B v3.0
3) PN5180 TFBGA64 performance board v1.0
4) PN7462AU Customer Evaluation Board

Build this example and keep the configuration as default (change nothing in files .h found in 'intfs' folder).
Run, nothing happens after the following traces from the debug console:

[MCUXpresso Semihosting Telnet console for 'NfcrdlibEx4_MIFAREClassic LinkServer DebugLPC1769' started on port 3149 @ 127.0.0.1]

*** MIFARE Classic Example ***
Reader chip RC663: 0x00
Ready to detect

3. Normally, when trying with "NXP NFC Cockpit 4.7.0.0", I notice that the led IRQ blinks at each passing of mifare card.

This is not the case with examples from libray. So, I think that may be there is some software configuration to correctly run this example ?

Hi,

Finally I have now the right demo for the "CLEV6630A V2.0". Everything works fine now.

[MCUXpresso Semihosting Telnet console for 'NfcrdlibEx1_BasicDiscoveryLoop LinkServer DebugLPC1769' started on port 4724 @ 127.0.0.1]
BasicDiscoveryLoop Example:
Card detected and activated successfully...
Technology : Type A
Card: 1
UID : 4B 7A 78 98
SAK : 0x18
Type: Type 2 Tag

If someone has trouble to find the right demo exemples for CLEV6630A V2.0 (RedBoard), (see above picture) here is some info from download link (with login) :

"NFC Reader Library v05.16.00 R1 for CLEV6630B including all software examples" : SW297847.zip
