I could download SW3524 and install PN5180 NFC Cockpit v.2.3.

According to SW35234 page 17 to 18, I tried to activate MIFARE, and encounterd error at 3rd step(pressed the button(activate layer3).

What should I check?

Hello,

This problem seems to be on the Tag's side. By any chance, is the card on the eval board antenna when Layer 3 and Layer 4 are activated?

Could you please provide details about the Tag you are working with? -In my case, I am activating a MIFARE Plus X 2K both, on Layer 3 and 4, please see below:

In case you are not sure with Tag you are working with, please use our NFC TagInfo tool for Android. This could also help us to discard that the Tag is not functional.

Regards,

Ivan.

Hello,
According to your advise, I could operate NFC cockpit by using Mifare DESFire card!
I had chosen wrong Tag, so NFC cockpit did not work well.
I appriciate your support!

I will comment and mention that the NFC Tag Info by NXP (on iOS) is a completely useless app. It only shows NDEF data that exists on the card, and absolutely nothing about what type the card is. The screenshots on Android show it may be more useful? This app should be removed from the iOS store at this state, it doesn't help anyone.
