NFC not working with Verizon SIM on MESA3 Tablet (Android U, NQ310 chipset using SN100 libjni)

[shenbagaraja]

Hello NXP NFC team,

We are working on the MESA3 tablet running Android U. NFC works normally with other SIMs but fails when a Verizon SIM is inserted.

We suspect the Secure Element UICC feature might be causing the issue. And we have disabled the Secure Element in HAL Manifest.xml to test, but the problem persists.

Product/Platform: MESA3 tablet running Android U
Chipset: The hardware uses the legacy NQ310 NFC chipset, which has no direct Android U support. So we are using the SN100 libjni in place of the NQ310 driver to enable NFC on Android U.

Could you please help suggest recommended solution or workaround for
1. ensuring Verizon SIM compatibility with NFC in this setup. (or) bypassing Secure Element functionality on SN-series stack for development.


Thanks in advance for your support.

It appears the UICC EE is not discovered and AID routing to UICC fails when Verizon SIM is use
