Support Apple VAS and Google SmartTap using PN7150 readers + linux_libnfc-nci SDK

[andrewvillagran]

Hi, I have a PN7150 reader connected to a Linux board. Is the PN7150 used in conjunction with the linux_libnfc-nci SDK capable of supporting Apple's Value Added Services (VAS) and Google's SmartTap, for Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, respectively? If so, will it require me adding code on top of the linux_libnfc-nci SDK in order to support their protocols? If the PN7150 is not capable of supporting these technologies, can you recommend another reader that is capable? Finally, is there any documentation or resources available that can help me better understand how to support VAS and SmartTap from a hardware + SDK perspective?

Hello,

For Apple VAS support please refer to the PN7150X. 

For the more information please find it as the link.

Thanks for the swift reply!

I just want to make sure I'm understanding you correctly -- the PN7150 is absolutely not able to support Apple VAS, correct?  The PN7150X is the only NXP chip capable of supporting it?

Yes. You are right.
