Is there an easy way to identify the type of tag with an ISO14443-A/B Command?

[janp_]

Hello,

I'm writing a program to check if the type of the tag on the reader is the one I'm expecting. I have 150 diffrent Tags and I need to categorize them all. For the ISO 15693 I'm checking the first 6 Bytes of the UID. Now I hope theres an easy way for the ISO14443-A/B, too.

Regards

Jan

Hello,

If you are working with NFC Reader Library, there are some definitions which you can consider. These are position bits masks for different technologies:

#define PHAC_DISCLOOP_POS_BIT_MASK_A                          0x01U   /**< Position bit mask for Type A. */

#define PHAC_DISCLOOP_POS_BIT_MASK_B                          0x02U   /**< Position bit mask for Type B. */

#define PHAC_DISCLOOP_POS_BIT_MASK_F212                       0x04U   /**< Position bit mask for Type F212. */

#define PHAC_DISCLOOP_POS_BIT_MASK_F424                       0x08U   /**< Position bit mask for Type F424. */

#define PHAC_DISCLOOP_POS_BIT_MASK_V                          0x10U   /**< Position bit mask for Type V. */

#define PHAC_DISCLOOP_POS_BIT_MASK_18000P3M3                  0x20U   /**< Position

You can check for a specific technology as follows (in this case for Type A):

status = phacDiscLoop_GetConfig(pDataParams, PHAC_DISCLOOP_CONFIG_TECH_DETECTED, &wTagsDetected);

                CHECK_STATUS(status);

                if(PHAC_DISCLOOP_CHECK_ANDMASK(wTagsDetected, PHAC_DISCLOOP_POS_BIT_MASK_A))

                {

                    DEBUG_PRINTF (" \tType A detected... \n");

                }

Best regards,

Ivan.
