The Raspberry Pi Foundation released the Raspberry Pi 5 in October 2023, Raspberry Pi 5 features the Broadcom BCM2712 quad-core Arm Cortex A76 processor @2.4GHz, making it up to three times fast than Raspberry Pi 4.   The latest version of Raspberry Pi OS is Bookworm. However, some customers found the PN7160 is not detected over I2C/SPI on the Raspberry Pi 5. Running "i2cdetect -y 1" produces a blank table, and running "nfcDemoApp poll" results in an "nfcservice init fail" message. The incompatibility appears to be between the PN7160 and the new Raspberry Pi OS—Bookworm.  This reason is Raspberry Pi OS received a major update in Linux Kernel 6.6,  the classic way of GIPO handling no long work.   In step 6, a new GPIO interface is introduced to resolve the incompatibility issue. This article is a step-by-step guide to port PN7160 NCI2 stack to Raspberry Pi OS--Bookworm.   Hardware setup: For detail information about Raspberry Pi 5, please refer to below link.  https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/   The PN7160 EVK board must be connected to Raspberry Pi using the following instructions:   Raspberry Pi 5 board pin NFC controller board signal #1 3.3V PWR VDD (PAD) +5V VBAT and VDD (UP) #16 GPIO23 IRQ #18 GPIO24 VEN #22 DWL_REQ #6 GND #5 I2C_SCL #3 I2C_SDA     This matches the Raspberry Pi version of OM27160A1EVK (I2C variant).  The kit can then be plugged on Raspberry Pi 5 board to run the example. First of all, assemble the PN7160 NFC controller board (OM27160A1HN or OM27160B1HN) with the Raspberry Pi interface board (OM29110RPI)      Then stacked together the boards with the Raspberry Pi board.     Software Setup: 1    Install Rasp 5 OS -Bookworm We use Raspberry Pi Imager tool to install Raspberry Pi OS (64bit, Bookworm). Click choose device and select Raspberry Pi 5, next click choose OS and select an operating system –Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit) , and select Micro SD card. Next we can write the Image to the Micro SD card.   2 Enable i2c interface 1). Run command:     sudo raspi-config     2). Use the down arrow to select "Interface Options"   3). Arrow down to "I5 I2C"     4). Select "yes" when it asks you to enable I2C 5). Use the right arrow to select the <Finish> button To verify the i2c interface is enabled, enter the following command: $ ls /dev/i2c* The Pi should respond with “ /dev/i2c-1” which represents the user-mode i2c interface to which is connected the PN7160    3 Install necessary tools   We need to use APT commands to install , update software package in Raspberry Pi OS, please refer to  below link. https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/os.html Libtool needs to be installed to run the NCI stack.    4 Clone Linux libnfc-nci library repository NFC NCI library is available from the following repository: https://github.com/NXPNFCLinux/linux_libnfc-nci $ git clone https://github.com/NXPNFCLinux/linux_libnfc-nci.git -b NCI2.0_PN7160     5 Apply 64bit patch To install on 64bit OS, we need to apply 64bit patch.  It is under folder linux_libnfc-nci/64bit_patch/ROOT_src.patch   6 Modifications for GPIO Raspberry Pi OS (Bookworm) received a major update which includes the Linux kernel 6.6.   In the new OS update, the classic way of interfacing with GPIO has been deprecated.  Unfortunately our PN7160 NCI stack still interact with GPIO using /sys/class/gpio pseudo-filesystem,  low level control of GPIOs no longer work with Bookworm.  So we need to use the new GPIO interface on the Raspberry PI: libgpiod.  At this point Raspberry OS with a kernel 6.6 both libgpiod and gpiod are not pre-packaged and we need to install them.   6.1  Installation of gpiod tools We can look more into what is installed   The output of gpioinfo reports all of the available GPIO lines, by default for all chips. 6.2 Installation of the gpio libraries If we want to install libraries for development we need to do the following   Here is the info on libgpiod-dev     The development package installs the C libraries and header files for us to use. Namely, the /usr/include/gpiod.h C header file and the /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libgpiod.so Shared Library.   6.3 Modifications in PN7160 NCI2 library. In source code, we need to add the gpiod library support 6.3.1 Makefile.am    6.3.2 src/nfcandroid_nfc_hidlimpl/halimpl/tml/transport/NfccAltTransport.cc    ......     and src/nfcandroid_nfc_hidlimpl/halimpl/tml/transport/NfccAltTransport.h   If you need the modified source code files, please let me know. I can send the source code changes to you.    7 Configure the library       8 Set the library to map i2c interface   9 Build and install the library   $ make $ sudo make install $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib   10 Run & Verify the NFC functionality     This demo works as expected.   Summary: Porting PN7160 NCI2 stack to Raspberry Pi 5, we need to follow PN7160 Linux porting guide and update the classic GPIO interface to gpiod libraries.   Happy porting 😊

  Some customers are trying to update the user firmware on PN7642 through host interface and using “DownloadLibEx1” demo,  and they are using SFWUMaker to create .esfwu file from .bin followed the readme file but failed to do a firmware update. Here is a step-by-step guide to do it. I will use the SDK led blinky demo,  and generate an Esfwu file , and program it into PN7642 board with LPC5516 host.  Led blinky demo is in PN7642_MCUXpresso_SDK_02-15-00_PUB.  You can download it from PN7642 product page.  Single-Chip Solution with High-Performance NFC Reader, Customizable MCU and Security Toolbox | NXP Semiconductors Step 1: compile pnev7642fama_led_blinky demo Please make sure the flash size is 180KB.  By default,  the output flash size is 180KB with MCUXpresso IDE.     Step 2: Bin file generation The binary (.bin) file is not generated by default, we can do it manually by doing following: Build your target application Open the debug/release folder in MCUXpresso Right-click on the *.axf file Choose 'Binary Utilities' → 'Create binary' in the menu The .bin should appear   Step 3: Make an ESFWU file To convert a bin file to an ESFWU file, we can use the ESFWU Maker Utility (sw810311). It can be downloaded from PN7642 product page. It is a secure file, and you need to have an active NDA to get it.  To run this utility, the toml file is very important.  You need to change the output name and binary name according to your project ,  and  you need to use the correct aes_root_key. For other parameters, we left them unchanged.   3.1   change the output name and binary name   3.2 set the correct aes_root_key The application flashed via SWD is a bin file and NOT encrypted neither is it flashed with our bootloader. The .esfwu file via host interface is encrypted and flashed by our own bootloader.  The keys have to be valid, else the bootloader will not be able to decrypt the received file. Please make sure we are using the right keys to create the user application firmware.  This is crucial and without it, it won’t work anyways. The default keys are mentioned in the datasheet as transport keys. See below picture.  But it is highly recommended to provision your own keys!  Please have a look at the secure key mode application note for further information on that.        If you are not sure whether you have provisioned the root key or not, you can check the SKM state by running SKM demo. if the root key is provisioned, please use the provisioned root key.  From below picture, I can see that the app_root_key is  not provisioned, so I use the default transport key.     3.3  use the EsfwuMaker command to generate the Esfwu file.     After this command, we can get the esfwu file.       Step 4: Secure firmware download   We use the firmware download example to update the PN7642 firmware.  It is in the host software package, it  holds examples to be used with LPC55S16 and MCUXpresso, to interact with the PN7642. The LPC55S16 Host Software can be download from PN7642 product page. LPC55S16 Host Software Version 02.01.00 (nxp.com) To run the demo, we need to edit the firmware location.  In file DownloadLibEx1.c,  about line 60.       Please set the correct hardware settings as below.  we have to stack the PNEV7642A Rev-B development board on top of the LPC55S16-EVK board. Align Pin.1 of J36 of the PNEV7642A Rev-B development board with Pin.1 of J9 of the LPC55 board. The last 4 pins, 17 - 20, of J12 of the LPC board are not connected. As well as pin 1-4 of J10 stay unconnected, as below picture shows.       Run the firmware download Demo with LPC55s16,  see the log output below.  Choose option “6” to update your application firmware. The update may take a while.  At the end, a successful update is indicated by the prompt of “Successful firmware upload ”.         To verify it is successful, we can run this demo, please keep J65 open.  you will see the D7 (RED LED) blinky (0.5 HZ rate). If you need the pnev7642fama_led_blinky.esfwu, please let me know.

Hello NFC community:   NXP released the new PN7150 NFC Controller chip with enhanced power output, and there is also the new Arduino compatible demokit OM5578/PN7150ARD. See more information in the next pages:   PN7150: High performance full NFC Forum-compliant controlle|NXP OM5578/PN7150ARD: Demoboards for PN7150|NXP   There is also a new PN7120 SBC kit for arduino:   http://cache.nxp.com/documents/user_manual/UM11008.pdf http://cache.nxp.com/documents/user_manual/UM11008.pdf   Due to the Arduino interface pinout, these kits can also be used with Kinetis Freedom Boards. The target of this document is to create projects to use the NFC Controller lîbrary with the PN7120 or PN7150 together with a Kinetis host. Also you will find example projects created for the FRDM-K64F and FRDM-KL43Z.     Requirements:   - Kinetis Software Development Kit v1.3. -> Software Development Kit for Kinetis MCUs|NXP - KDS v3.x with KSDK v1.3 Eclipse Update Installed -> Kinetis Design Studio Integrated Development Enviro|NXP - Kinetis SDK project generator. Available from the "Downloads" tab of KSDK webpage -> Software Development Kit for Kinetis MCUs|NXP     CREATING NEW PROJECT   NOTE: In this step-by-step procedure the FRDM-K64F is used as reference. You can follow the guide according to your own Freedom board.   1) Open the KSDK project generator. 2) Enter the KSDK v1.3 installation path, give a name to the project, select your Freedom board and click on "Advanced":     3) In the advanced settings window enable the checkboxes for:   - Include BSP files - Generate standalone project - Kinetis Design Studio toolchain - Board (confirm that your board is shown in the drop-down menu)   NOTE: The path for the newly created project is set by default inside of the KSDK v1.3 installation. For a standalone project you can change the location, just remember such path to import the project to KDS workspace in a later step.   Leave the rest of configurations as default (New project, Platform library, no RTOS) and finally click on "Advanced Generate!".     4) From Kinetis Design Studio go to File -> Import.     5) Go to General -> Existing Projects into workspace and click "Next".     6) In "select root directory" browse to the location of the platform lib for the created project. By default this path would be:   C:\nxp\KSDK_1.3.0\examples\frdmk64f\user_apps\<project_name>\lib\ksdk_platform_lib\kds\<MCU>   <project_name>: The name given initially to the project. <MCU>: The corresponding device number (K64F12 in this case).   Make sure that the project check box is enabled and click on "Finish".     7) Select the KSDK platform library project and click on the "Hammer icon" to build it.     😎 Repeat steps 4 through 6, but this time browse to the location of the application project. In this example the path is:   C:\nxp\KSDK_1.3.0\examples\frdmk64f\user_apps\< project_name >\kds     INTEGRATING NFC CONTROLLER LIBRARY   The next steps describe how to integrate the NFC NCI library to your newly created project.   - The Arduino Interface Boards use the next pinout for communication between the OM5578/PN7150 or OM5577/PN7120 kits with the Freedom or Arduino boards:     As shown in the picture, the pinouts are similar except for the 5V connection. This leverages the enhanced output power feature of the PN7150 NFC Controller.   - We need to check the corresponding pins that will be used from the Freedom board. In this case, the connections to the FRDM-K64F board would be as next:   IMPORTANT: The pinout shown below corresponds to Rev E3 schematics of FRDM-K64F. For Rev D1 the pin used for IRQ (header location J2[2]) must be PTA0 instead of PTC12.     1) Open the file gpio_pins.c and add 2 pin configurations: 1 input pin called NFCCirqPin and 1 output pin called NFCCvenPin.   gpio_input_pin_user_config_t NFCCirqPin = {   .pinName = kGpioNFCCirq,   .config.isPullEnable = false,   .config.pullSelect = kPortPullUp,   .config.isPassiveFilterEnabled = false,   .config.interrupt = kPortIntDisabled, }; gpio_output_pin_user_config_t NFCCvenPin = {   .pinName = kGpioNFCCven,   .config.outputLogic = 1,   .config.slewRate = kPortSlowSlewRate,   .config.driveStrength = kPortLowDriveStrength, };   2) In the file gpio_pins.h add 2 extra elements to the gpio enumeration. Also add extern declarations for the 2 pins defined in the previous step.   NOTE: For FRDM-K64F the pins are PTC12 and PTC3. Select corresponding pins for your Freedom board.   extern gpio_input_pin_user_config_t NFCCirqPin; extern gpio_output_pin_user_config_t NFCCvenPin; /*! @brief Pin names */ enum _gpio_pins_pinNames {   kGpioSW2  = GPIO_MAKE_PIN(GPIOC_IDX, 6U),   kGpioSW3  = GPIO_MAKE_PIN(GPIOA_IDX, 4U),   kGpioSdhc0Cd  = GPIO_MAKE_PIN(GPIOE_IDX, 6U),   kGpioLED1     = GPIO_MAKE_PIN(GPIOE_IDX, 26U),   kGpioLED2     = GPIO_MAKE_PIN(GPIOB_IDX, 22U),   kGpioLED3     = GPIO_MAKE_PIN(GPIOB_IDX, 21U),   kGpioNFCCirq  = GPIO_MAKE_PIN(GPIOC_IDX,  12), /* GPIO for NFCC IRQ pin */   kGpioNFCCven  = GPIO_MAKE_PIN(GPIOC_IDX,  3),  /* GPIO for NFCC VEN pin */ }   3) In the file pin_mux.c define a function to configure the MUX setting of the required GPIO and I2C pins to interface with the NFC Controller.   void configure_nfcc_pins(void) {   /** I2C_SDA **/   PORT_HAL_SetMuxMode(PORTE,25u,kPortMuxAlt5);   PORT_HAL_SetOpenDrainCmd(PORTE,25u,true);   /** I2C_SCL **/   PORT_HAL_SetMuxMode(PORTE,24u,kPortMuxAlt5);   PORT_HAL_SetOpenDrainCmd(PORTE,24u,true);   /* NFCC IRQ */   PORT_HAL_SetMuxMode(PORTC,12u,kPortMuxAsGpio);   /* NFCC VEN */   PORT_HAL_SetMuxMode(PORTC,3u,kPortMuxAsGpio); }   NOTES: - Check the corresponding pins on your Freedom board. FRDM-K64F uses PTC12/PTC3 as GPIOs while PTE24/PTE25 are configured as I2C pins. For I2C pins also check the MUX number in the device's Reference Manual (e.g. PTE24/PTE25 in K64F have the I2C function in ALT5). - This function needs to be called from your project to configure the required pins. e.g. from hardware_init(). - Some Freedom boards share the I2C pins of the Arduino compatible header with an on-board I2C device (e.g. accelerometer), with SDA/SCL pull-up resistors populated already. If this is not the case for your board, make sure to place external pull-ups to  MCU VDD or enable the internal pull-ups as temporary workaround.   4) Add the prototype of the function to the header file pin_mux.h.   /* ** =================================================== **     Method :  configure_nfcc_pins */ /*! **     @brief **         Set mux configuration for I2C and GPIO pins **         to interface with the NFC Controller. */ /* ==================================================*/ void configure_nfcc_pins(void);   5) Copy the folders NfcLibrary and TML to the project folder. The file fsl_i2c_irq.c is also required. In this case the file is found in the next path:   C:\nxp\KSDK_1.3.0\examples\frdmk64f\user_apps\<project_name>\platform\drivers\src\i2c   NOTE: If the project was not created in standalone mode, just search the fsl_i2c_irq.c file from your KSDK installation.       6) Add the NfcLibrary and TML folders with all its subfolders and files to the project's tree, so the lilbrary is part of the build. Also add the file fsl_i2c_irq.c to the project. In KDS you can drag and drop folders and files to the project explorer view.       7) Add the compiler include paths for the inc folders.     😎 From the KDS preprocessor settings add or remove the next conditional compilation macros according to your functional requirements:   CARDEMU_SUPPORT: The NFC Controler host (MCU) can emulate a contactless card which can be accessed by an external Reader/Writer. P2P_SUPPORT: The host MCU can establish a 2-way communication accesing to or sending data to an external Reader/Writer. RW_SUPPORT: With this mode the host can access a remote contactless tag/card via the NFC Controller. NCI-DEBUG: If defined, all information transferred between the host MCU and the NFC Controller Interface (commands, responses, notifications, data) is echoed to console for debug purposes.     9) The file tml.h includes the macro NFCC_I2C_INSTANCE which defines the I2C module to use. For FRDM-K64F the module is I2C0. Set this macro according to your Freedom board.   /* NFC Controller I2C interface configuration */ #define NFCC_I2C_INSTANCE  0   At this point the project is ready to use the NFC Controller library and interface the Kinetis Freedom board with PN7120 or PN7150 NFC Controllers.     DEMO PROJECTS   At the end of this document you will find 2 example project packages for the FRDM-K64F and FRDM-KL43Z. Both of the projects can be used with either the OM5578/PN7150 or OM5577/PN7120 kits using the Arduino interface boards.   Each ZIP package includes 2 projects (example application and KSDK library). Unzip the package and import the projects from the resulting location.   Do not select "Copy projects into workspace" in KDS. If you do so the build will fail due to the linked source files not copied over.   The projects must be built in the next order:   1- Platform library project (FRDM-xxx_NFCNCI_Example\lib\ksdk_platform_lib\kds\<MCU>) 2- Demo project (FRDM-xxx_NFCNCI_Example\kds)   The OpenSDA virtual COM port is used to send data to a terminal at 115200 baud. Below an explanation on how to test the different project example features.   RW mode:   - Placing a tag with a single text, URI or vCard NDEF record next to the NFC reader antenna. Examples:         P2P mode:   - Bring an android phone with NFC enabled close to the NFC controller antenna and use the "beaming" feature. In the case below the NXP home page is "beamed" from the adroid phone's explorer. After this, the NFC enabled phone will receive the "Test" NDEF record.                     CARD EMULATION mode     For this mode it is required to remove the P2P_SUPPORT macro and rebuild/reprogram the project.   - Bringing an android phone set to read a NFC tag close to the NFC controller board. The NFC enabled phone will detecta T4T tag type with the "Test" NDEF record.     I hope you can find this document useful. Any questions or doubts please let me know in the comments.   Jorge Gonzalez NXP Technical Support

SPIM module is one of the master interfaces provided by PN7462 , which is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0-based NFC microcontroller, and users may use this interface to connect with up to two SPI slave devices. The NFC reader library provides SPIM driver code in phHal/phhalSPIM, and users may directly use the following APIs in their application to implement simple SPI transaction, just like what is done  in the demo of "PN7462AU_ex_phExHif". While this demo has limitation with some SPI nor flash devices, which need a write-read operation in one NSS session, for example, the SPI nor flash device on OM27462 as below: Please note to solder R202 and connect it to 3V3 to make sure nHold pin has pull-up out of POR. The following is one of the command sets this device supports: This command contains 1 write(9F) followed by 3 read operations in one NSS session, but if you implement it with phhalSPIM_Transmit() and phhalSPIM_Receive() as below: status = phhalSPIM_Transmit(PH_EXHIF_HW_SPIM_SLAVE, PH_EXHIF_HW_SPIM_INIT_CRC, PH_EXHIF_HW_SPIM_APPEND_CRC, PH_EXHIF_HW_SPIM_CRC_INIT, 2, cmd_buf, PH_EXHIF_HW_SPIM_CRC_OFFSET);    status = phhalSPIM_Receive(PH_EXHIF_HW_SPIM_SLAVE, PH_EXHIF_HW_SPIM_INIT_CRC, PH_EXHIF_HW_SPIM_CRC_INIT, data_length, dst, PH_EXHIF_HW_SPIM_CRC_OFFSET);" You will have the following result: expected: NSS   \__________________________/ MOSI     CMD A7-A0 MISO                            DATA       actual:                         NSS   \____________||______________/ MOSI     CMD A7-A0 MISO                           DATA so the pulse between the write and read is the problem, and here we have to handle the NSS line manually, with the help of NSS_VAL and NSS_CONTROL bits in SPIM_CONFIG_REG. so the code should be like this:   Assert NSS   status = phhalSPIM_Transmit(PH_EXHIF_HW_SPIM_SLAVE, PH_EXHIF_HW_SPIM_INIT_CRC, PH_EXHIF_HW_SPIM_APPEND_CRC, PH_EXHIF_HW_SPIM_CRC_INIT, 2, cmd_buf, PH_EXHIF_HW_SPIM_CRC_OFFSET);    status = phhalSPIM_Receive(PH_EXHIF_HW_SPIM_SLAVE, PH_EXHIF_HW_SPIM_INIT_CRC, PH_EXHIF_HW_SPIM_CRC_INIT, data_length, dst, PH_EXHIF_HW_SPIM_CRC_OFFSET);"   De-assert NSS The NSS line assert and de-assert function can be implemented with register bit level APIs, just like below:             PH_REG_SET_BIT(SPIM_CONFIG_REG, NSS_VAL);//de-assert NSS             PH_REG_SET_BIT(SPIM_CONFIG_REG, NSS_CTRL);             PH_REG_CLEAR_BIT(SPIM_CONFIG_REG, NSS_VAL);//assert NSS Please also include the following header files in your application code. #include "ph_Reg.h" #include "PN7462AU/PN7462AU_spim.h" Please notice that phhalSPIM_Transmit() and phhalSPIM_Receive() are Rom based function, which clear NSS_CTRL bit by default. We can not change ROM API's behave but fortunately we have phhalSPIM_TransmitContinue() and phhalSPIM_ReceiveContinue() instead. so the final solution will be like below: Assert NSS   status = phhalSPIM_TransmitContinue(1, cmd_buf);    status = phhalSPIM_ReceiveContinue(3, dst);   De-assert NSS This doesn't mean phhalSPIM_Transmit() and phhalSPIM_Receive() are useless, because they can also help up to configure the SPI master interface, if you don't want to use register bit level API to initial the SPIM module manually. Please note to use 1 byte for write/read length to make these two functions work properly. so the whole pseudo code is like below: phhalSPIM_Init(PH_HW_SPIM_TIMEOUT) ; phhalSPIM_Configure(PH_HW_SPIM_SLAVE, PH_HW_SPIM_MSB_FIRST,                 \                                     PH_HW_SPIM_MODE, PH_HW_SPIM_BAUDRATE,  \                                     PH_HW_SPIM_NSSPULSE, PH_HW_SPIM_NSSPOL) ; status = phhalSPIM_Transmit(PH_EXHIF_HW_SPIM_SLAVE, PH_EXHIF_HW_SPIM_INIT_CRC, PH_EXHIF_HW_SPIM_APPEND_CRC, PH_EXHIF_HW_SPIM_CRC_INIT, 1, cmd_buf, PH_EXHIF_HW_SPIM_CRC_OFFSET);    status = phhalSPIM_Receive(PH_EXHIF_HW_SPIM_SLAVE, PH_EXHIF_HW_SPIM_INIT_CRC, PH_EXHIF_HW_SPIM_CRC_INIT, 1, dst, PH_EXHIF_HW_SPIM_CRC_OFFSET);" Assert NSS   status = phhalSPIM_TransmitContinue(1, cmd_buf);    status = phhalSPIM_ReceiveContinue(3, dst);   De-assert NSS The following steps show how to create a new project based on NFC reader library, please refer to https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/user-guide/UM10883.pdf  on how to import the NFC reader library. 1. Create a new project after importing the NFC reader library. 2. if you installed PN7462 support package, you will see this: 3. add a link to NFC reader lib: 4. add path and enable NFC reader lib in the project: 5. delete cr_startup.c and create the main code as well as the header file: 6. Build result: 7.Debug result: To fetch the ready demo, please submit a private ticket via the guide of https://community.nxp.com/docs/DOC-329745 . Hope that helps, Best regards, Kan

This porting guide is for FRDM-K82F, and it can also be used for any other platform supported by KSDK 2.2. The released NXPNCI-KDS_Example_KSDK2.2 is based on FRDM-K64F, so before porting, we need to configure and download KSDK 2.2 for FRDM-K82F. Please make sure you have selected Kinetis Design Studio before downloading. After downloading, extract the package to some folder like below: and change PROJECT_KSDK_PATH to this folder: Change project settings as below: Remove all files in the folder of drivers, and import new source files as below: and similar procedure for "startup" folder and "utilities" folder: Replace the source files in board folder with the files from some ksdk demo like hello_world: FRDM-K82F uses PTC3 for NCI_IRQ pin, PTC9 for NCI_VEN pin, and PTA1 and PTA2(I2C3) as the I2C interface. so add definition in board.c and modify BOARD_InitPins() as below: Change linker settings: -Build -Debug settings -Test Result:

The latest NXP-NCI example is rev 1.6, and when you run this demo with the lpc11xx board, for example, lpc1115 rev A, and the OM5577, you may meet the following issue: The problem is due to two aspects: one is hardware and the other is software. For hardware solution, besides following what is described in AN11658 section 2.4 LPC11xx, you have to do one more thing: a) The I2C lines are not pulled-up: LPC11xx doesn't offer internal pull-up setting of the I2C lines so external pull-up resistors must be added. For software solution, the function of Sleep()( in tool.c) was optimized too much, and it didn't meet the timing requirement of OM5577, so we should let the IDE ignore it. The solution I use is as below: __attribute__((optimize("O0"))) void my_func() { blah } You may check the attachment for details. The result is shown as below: Original Attachment has been moved to: tool.c.zip

The NXPNCI-KDS_Example for the PN7120/PN7150 Arduino interface boards available in NXP webpage at the time of publishing this document includes a project compatible with KSDK v2.0 for FRDM-K64F platform. With the latest KSDK v2.1 some changes in the drivers along with the later FreeRTOS v9.0.0 make the build process fail when following the instructions in the application note AN11845 NXP NCI KDS Example due to incompatibilities. Meanwhile until the project in NXP webpage is updated there is a temporary project attached to this document fixed to work with KSDK v2.1. The steps to build this project are the same as explained in the appnote, summarized below: - Download and install KSDK v2.1 for FRDM-K64F using MCUXpresso SDK online builder: Welcome to MCUXpresso | MCUXpresso Config Tools  Create a new workspace in KDS IDE. Import the "NXPNCI-KDS_Example_KSDK2.1" project from the archive file. Update the PROJECT_KSDK_PATH build variable according to the installation path of KSDK v2.1. Build the project. For more details please refer to the application note AN11845. Regards! Jorge Gonzalez
