My customer has created a custom board with an MCU (not important) on it and an NT3H2111 Tag. I am writing the firmware and so far have programmatically got the tag doing basic things like reading/writing NDEF. I have no prior experience in developing for NFC but I do have over 40 years developing a wide variety of embedded systems.
My customer's plan is to have an iOS developer write an app to set up our embedded system's options (configuration data) and to update its firmware. I think we can manage the configuration data using one MIME format NDEF message, but a firmware update would have to be 1-200KB. We initially assumed that the NXP tag would accomplish this using pass-through mode, but we have since read that iOS's Core NFC still does not support pass-through mode.
Please will somebody verify if the iOS + NT3H2111 combination can use pass-though or not? I can think of other solutions to the firmware update (BLE being one obvious one that I have experience of), but I can't seem to get a definitive answer to this question. Any additional reference material or advice would also be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance, Simon Morrison
