This post entry provides a detailed description of how to develop an NFC pairing solution for audio devices. For that, we will describe in detail an audio speaker prototype made by NXP. This post entry has been structured as follows: Use cases for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi pairing via NFC As the number of connected devices grow, the more important it becomes to connect them in a simple way. At the same, it is required to provide a consistent and pleasant user experience. NFC pairing is one popular NFC use case, just bringing two NFC-enabled devices close together is all it takes to create a connection. For instance: To connect to your TV, to transfer a video from your phone, or sharing screens between your tablet and the TV. To connect to your camera to transfer pictures. To connect your phone to a wireless speaker. To connect your new devices to the home network. To connect to your wearables to read your heart rate. Or, to set-up a multi-audio system with NFC. Precisely, this post will guide you through the implementation of the NFC pairing solution for a multi-audio system. Benefits offered by the NFC pairing solution There are several benefits to consider adding NFC to your consumer device. First, from the consumer perspective: It provides a faster and simpler way to link wireless devices, only one touch. The credentials for establishing this connection are exchanged in a secure way. The device is identified instantly, without conflicts. In addition, from the manufacturer perspective, the benefits come mainly from: Making the device more attractive, by adding a new feature. And making the device easier to use, reducing the cost associated to customer technical support. Overall, NFC pairing is an interesting solution since it combines the simple, one-touch setup of NFC with the higher speed, longer distance communication of BT or Wi-Fi networks Pair and unpair Bluetooth headsets with just a tap with NFC NFC pairing process steps To pair and send music to a BT headset is as simple as: Select and play a music track in our phone. Tap the BT headset with the phone. When doing so, the BT pairing credentials are exchanged securely via NFC without any manual settings. The phone automatically initiates a BT connection request. After a second, audio is streamed via BT to the headset without entering any manual configuration. Furthermore, this is not only restricted to phones and headsets, but in general between any two NFC-enabled devices. Therefore, it is also possible to pair and send music to two Bluetooth headsets at the same time, creating what is known as “a silent disco”. Again, the process is simple: First, tap the two headsets with NFC capabilities. When doing so, the headsets automatically exchange the pairing credentials. The headsets establish a BT connection. And audio is streamed between them without requiring any manual setting. Similarly, instead of creating a silent disco, wireless speakers can be paired together via NFC to create a multi-audio system.  As such, NFC offers a real one-touch solution. It works with any NFC phone and no dedicated app needs to be installed. NFC unpairing process steps To stop sending music and un-pair the headset is easy as well. A second tap is the only action required to disconnect the headsets. After the tap, the second headset automatically de-activates the audio streaming and switches off. Best of all, we have instant identification of the device to be disconnected. Therefore, zero chances to unpair the wrong device as might happen through the phone settings, where we can unintentionally pick the wrong one. Multi-audio wireless speaker demo with NFC pairing capabilities During the rest of this post, we will tear-down an NFC multi-audio wireless speaker prototype developed by NXP based on PN7120 NFC controller solution. Hardware architecture This demo consists of two speakers with the same components, and therefore, the same functionality. If we dismount one of the speakers, the components we can find in the device PCB are: A system on chip solution, with an application processor, embedded flash memory and BT wireless connectivity. A system crystal clock, the BT antenna and two audio speakers A power supply unit, which includes three 1.5V batteries providing a stable 1.8V output. A NFC reader module, based on PN7120 chip, with an integrated antenna and a compact form factor. Application circuit for Bluetooth power on by NFC triggering If we have a closer look to the power unit interface, we see that: The VBAT pin is directly connected to the batteries. (PN7120 it supports a wide range of power supply voltages, from 5.5V down to 2.75V) The pad supply (PVDD), for the host interface operation, is connected to the 1.8V from the PMU. A wake-up trigger is built so that the BT controller is powered when an RF-field is detected. Regarding the host interface between the NFC controller and the main system MCU: The PN7120 module is connected to the BT controller via I2C slave interface. It supports standard, fast and high speed I2C modes (100 kHz SCL, 400 kHz SCL, 3.4 MHz SCL) The corresponding pull-up resistors are connected on the data and clock lines (SDA and SCL). The IRQ pin is used for ensuring the data flow control between PN7150 and the BT controller. The VEN (RESET) pin, used for setting the device in hard power down mode.  And, in respect to the antenna interface: The PN7120 VGA package Some discrete components for the antenna matching And the antenna coil surrounding the PCB edge. Software architecture and NCI interface In this section, we detail the solution software stack and how the NFC application logic works within the overall system. Using the block diagram, we have added the software blocks in orange.First, the PN7120 module includes: The NCI firmware & transport mapping layer for I2C communication (nothing to take care of from the developer side, since this firmware already comes embedded in the chip). Similarly, the host controller side requires: The NCI driver & transport mapping layer to communicate with PN7120 On top of these layers, the application logic for the BT pairing is implemented. Finally, the BT stack for the audio streaming, , but this software piece is not detailed here as it is out of the scope of the NFC implementation. NFC controller interface (NCI) specification details NCI describes the internal interface between an NFC Controller and the main host platform (in this case, between PN7120 and the BT chip). NCI is defined by the NFC Forum organization. As such, it provides manufacturers with a standard interface they can use for whatever kind of NFC-enabled device they build (making integration easier, saving time and effort). The next figure represents the NCI architecture: At the bottom, we find the transport mapping blocks, which map the NCI protocol to an underlying physical connection (I2C, SPI, UART, etc) The NCI core defines the messages, commands and data format for the different communications On top, the NCI modules implement specific functionalities, like the RF discovery which configures the NFC controller to communicate with other NFC tags or devices. From the overall NCI architecture, this implementation makes use of: The transport mapping is the I2C block The RF discovery is configured so that the speaker iterates between the reader, card and P2P modes NFC controller interface: RF Discovery PN7120 firmware can combine the three NFC modes of operation using the RF Discovery as defined in NCI spec. The RF discovery is a cyclic activity which activates various modes of operation. This consists of a loop which alternates two phases: The polling and the listen phases. In the polling phase, the PN7150 acts as Reader or NFC Initiator for the P2P mode, searching for passive tags or an NFC target device. If no card or target was detected, it enters a listening phase, to potentially be activated as card or P2P target If no device to interact is detected in the polling or listening phase, it switches back to polling phase after a timeout. All RF technologies supported by PN7120 can be independently enabled within this discovery loop. However, the PN7120 is in poll phase generates RF field and consumes current. Therefore, the more technologies to be polled, the larger the average current consumption. Multi-audio speaker prototype: RF dscovery configuration To enable the speaker-to-speaker pairing functionality, each of the speakers needs: To have the capability to discover a remote speaker and initiate a pairing operation. Or the other way around, be discovered by a remote speaker to complete a pairing operation. To accomplish this, the speakers need to sequentially move from polling and listening phases. As such, the discovery loop configured in the application iterates between reader, P2P and card modes.During the polling phase, the speaker generates an RF field, and uses an NFC-A polling sequence looking for: A remote card or device in card emulation. If found, the NDEF data with the pairing info will be retrieved and processed. Next, it looks for a remote P2P device. If found, it pushes an NDEF message with the pairing info to this remote peer. On the other hand, during the listening phase, the speaker turns off its RF field and waits to be discovered by a remote device: If it is discovered while operating as P2P target, it will pull an NDEF message coming from the remote speaker. If it is discovered while operating in card mode, its NDEF message will be read by the remote speaker. The precise communication that takes place between the two speakers will differ every time. It will depend on the polling loop status of both speakers at the instant they are tapped. Application logic Until now, we have described how both speakers are discovered, and therefore, how they can start a communication to exchange pairing data via NFC. The next step is to  describe which data and which data format is used to exchange the pairing details. NFC Forum specifications The NFC Forum organization defined a set of specs explaining how to exchange pairing data over NFC in an interoperable way with just a tap, independent of the manufacturer and without installing any dedicated application for it. These are: Connection handover: This spec defines how two NFC devices can negotiate and activate an alternative communication carrier.  NDEF: The NDEF spec defines a message format to exchange data between NFC devices, including pairing data. Tag 1 Type to Tag 5 Type specs: These specs define how NFC devices can interact with five different types of tag technology. As a result, any NDEF message store in any of these five types of tags will be processed by any NFC-compliant device. NFC pairing: Static handover As mentioned earlier, how pairing data is transferred between the two speakers will depend on the discovery loop status. The static handover takes place when: One speaker is in reader mode / polling mode. (left hand side) The other speaker is in card mode / listening mode, showing a Type 4 Tag with an NDEF message on it (right hand side). The process is as follows: The speaker in reader mode activates RF field and generates a NFC-A polling sequence. The remote speaker in card mode responds to the polling command. The reader retrieves the NDEF data from the remote speaker, using the commands as defined in Type 4 tag NFC forum spec. The reader processes the carrier data from the NDEF message and establishes a BT connection according to BT protocol. The speaker in card emulation mode deploys a Handover Select NDEF record, advertising its BT carrier. In The NDEF message, we store: The BT device address (MAC address) Bluetooth local name (Friendly name for the user) Class of the device (e.g. headset, mobile, etc) This is the carrier data that will be used by the application to trigger the BT connection. After this proces, both devices start streaming music over BT. NFC pairing: Negotiated handover The other possibility is that when both speakers are tapped, they find themselves during the P2P operation. In such a situation, the pairing process will be conducted according to the Negotiated handover mechanism. One of them will take the role of initiator, the other the target role: The initiator will poll for target devices The target will respond to the initiator command The initiator will send a handover request message, with the carrier details The target will respond with a handover select message, indicating the selected carrier option. On the received data, the initiator will establish a connection according to BT protocol. After that, both devices start streaming audio over BT. In this case, both speakers exchange data with their alternative carrier capabilities, could be more than one. The initiator communicates to the target device its carrier capabilities with a Handover request record followed by an NDEF record per each available carrier (in this case, just one BT carrier). After that, the target replies to the initiator with the selected carrier to be used for the out of band data transfer. As before, the BT configuration in the NDEF message includes fields such as: BT address, device class, BT local name, and optional data if secure pairing according to BT spec is required.The key here is that, this negotiation protocol and these message formats are specified and defined in the NFC Forum specs, so they offer an interoperable solution for any compliant-platform Support package  This section details resources and information provided by NXP you can use to replicate your own multi-audio speaker solution with NFC pairing capabilities. PN71xx family of NFC controllers PN71xx family are solutions integrating an RF frontend together with an embedded microcontroller with dedicated FW and NCI interface. They fully comply with the NFC Forum, include Linux®, Android™, and WinIoT drivers and sample code for bare metal and RTOS integration. Additionally, they support direct supply from a battery, different power states and an ultra-low power polling loop. Their features make it ideal for NFC integration into any application, especially those with OS system. Hardware support From a hardware point of view, several demokits are available to evaluate PN71xx family. They interface into popular platforms, such as: Raspberry Pi BeagleBone Black Any board featuring an Arduino compatible header like LPCXpresso or Kinetis Freedom among others. In case you have to evaluate PN71xx into any other platform, these kits can be reused, The PN71xx board provides all required signal pins easily accessible so that you can design and build your own interface board for your target platform. Software support From a software support point of view,  device manufacturers can easily integrate PN71xx family in Linux, Android and Win IoT systems through the available SW drivers. But also, NXP supplies a set of code examples running on LPC and Kinetis MCUs for Bare metal RTOS integration. Precisely, the demo presented in this post, leverages on the NullOS/RTOS SW examples. The software example for PN71xx integration into RTOS / Bare metal system is made of 3 components: The NXP-NCI module offers an API for configuring, starting and processing the NFC device discovery The NDEF library offers an API for processing NDEF data over reader, card and p2p modes: The transport mapping layer providing HW abstraction for the host – NFC controller connection On top of it, developers can implement their own application.

  Overview For companies working on package drone delivery solutions, NXP technology provides a way to confirm that drones are operating within authorized airspace corridors, and then to secure an electronic signature before the drone sets down on the ground. The NXP electronic signature solution uses NXP Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to obtain a valid signature for delivery: The consumer would receive an electronic package notification via BLE to their mobile device The drone hovers over the delivery zone until it obtains the electronic signature After receiving the signature, the drone releases the package and returns to the point of origin, or it could travel to a nearby location for a package return Benefits For consumers: Drone delivery equals rapid, as well as reduced cost delivery, however, for both businesses and consumers need a way to verify parcel receipt. NXP’s electronic signature solution is efficient and non-invasive For businesses: Wireless signature confirmation ensures a level of protection of a valuable piece of commercial equipment (the drone), and reduces potential liability for loss due to theft or inaccurate parcel delivery For regulatory bodies: The electronic identification traveling with the drone helps ensure compliance with flight corridor restrictions, especially if those corridors require dynamic mapping   Block Diagram   Recommended Products Category Products Features BLE SoC K32W061/41 MCUs for Zigbee®, Thread, and Bluetooth® Low Energy 5.0 |NXP Multiprotocol RF | NXP  Powered by an Arm® Cortex®-M4 MCU and with 640 KB on-board flash and 152 KB SRAM.   KW39/38/37 32-bit Bluetooth 5.0 Long-Range MCUs|NXP | NXP  Bluetooth Low Energy version 5.0 and generic FSK radio.   QN9090/30(T) Bluetooth 5.0 Low Energy MCU with NFC | NXP  Low energy devices that achieve ultra-low-power consumption and integrate an Arm®Cortex®-M4 CPU Up to 640KB onboard flash and 152 KB SRAM Drone PX4 Robotic Drone FMU | RDDRONE-FMUK66 Proven business-friendly open source software with available enterprise support: PX4, QGroundControl Supports all airframes: Use it for Quadcopters, Hexacopter, VTOL, planes, rovers, cars, and other robots Rapid-IOT to Drone adapter board Rapid-IOT to Drone adapter board Adapter board fully designed for Rapid IoT Prototyping Kit UAVCAN communication between drone and Rapid IOT Works with PX4 flight controllers such as RDDRONE-FMUK66 or Pixhawk NXP Rapid IoT Prototyping Kit Rapid IoT Prototyping Kit Expandable to most IoT end-node use cases with 400+ Click boards Multiple sensors (Gyroscope, Acc/Mag., Barometer/Temp., Air Quality, Ambient light and capacitive touch)

Demo This demo shows an infotainment and ADAS system based on NXP Ethernet components and is divided in three main parts: Infotainment, Network and ADAS. In the infotainment part, a “Head Unit” ECU plays locally an MPEG movie and also streams it over Ethernet to the second “Rear Seat Unit” ECU. Both ECUs also execute in the backroad the NXP AVB SW stack. This enables the two ECUs to be perfectly synchronized with each other. Therefore the two ECUs can playback the very same video (and audio) frame at the same time on their local displays. In the network part the new Automotive Ethernet Switch (SJA1105EL) and PHYs (TJA1100HN) implement the Ethernet connectivity of the system. The switch executes the AVB “gPTP” synchronization SW that enables the infotainment application described above to operate. In the ADAS part a surround view camera captures a video stream and streams it to a “Cluster” ECU also connected via the automotive Ethernet network. The camera is based on the NXP “MPC5604E ” Salsa processor and on a competitor’s BroadR-Reach PHY. This also shows the interoperability of the TJA1100HN PHY with competitor’s products. Features: All displays are implemented with NXP i.MX6 processor, and a full implementation of the NXP Ethernet AVB Stack running on Linux. The camera is based on an NXP Salsa processor (MPC5304EKIT) . The Switch board that connects all displays and the camera uses the NXP SJA1105EL Automotive Ethernet switch and the TJA1100HN BroadR-Reach Ethernet PHY ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Featured NXP Products: Product Link IEEE 100BASE-T1 compliant Automotive Ethernet PHY Transceiver TJA1100HN | Automotive Ethernet PHY Transceiver | NXP  i.MX 6 Series i.MX 6 Series Applications Processors | Multicore Arm Cortex-A7/A9/M4 | NXP  Audio Video Bridging Software https://www.nxp.com/design/design-services/audio-video-bridging-software:AVB-SOFTWARE?&fsrch=1&sr=4&pageNum=1 Development Kit Enabling Video Over Ethernet with NXP® MPC5604E MCU NXP® MPC5604EKIT:Development Kit | NXP  ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Overview The FAA now requires drone owners to register any device weighing more than 0.55 lbs. (250 g). For drones currently in the field, enforcing this new law might be problematic, as it relies on the honor system to some extent. But for new devices, NXP offers an easy enforcement method. How it Works NXP’s drone registration solution uses low-cost NFC technology to easily enforce compliance. Manufacturers could include an NFC reader within the drone housing. NXP makes this step straightforward by providing reference designs for drop-into-place design ease. Upon registration, consumers could receive an official government-issued registration certificate that comprises an NXP encrypted NFC tag in adhesive label form. Upon adhesion to the drone housing, the drone control electronics would wirelessly read the certificate. If valid, the drone microcontroller enables functionality. If not, the drone will not power up. Benefits Electronic registration provides more than just ease to government regulatory bodies, it also facilitates regulation of that drone to ensure the safety of all citizens. Upon application of the registration certificate sticker, the NFC chip inside the sticker could convey identification information to the drone microcontroller, such as the registration number, model/serial number of the drone, and its zoning classification. Because this information would now be housed with the drone, drone manufacturers could choose to broadcast select details, such as the classification information, via appropriate long-range wireless communication while in flight. If the drone flew within restricted airspace (near airports, sensitive government sites, stadiums, large public events, etc.), flight controllers could obtain the classification information (something virtually impossible to obtain visually) from the drone and thereby verify its authority (or lack thereof) to travel within a particular space, in order to help prevent potential catastrophes.   Block Diagram   Recommended Products Category Products Features RFID MIFARE DESFire EV2 | NXP  Contactless interface compliant with ISO/IEC 14443-2/3 A Fast data transfer: 106 kbit/s, 212 kbit/s, 424 kbit/s, 848 kbit/s   CLRC663 plus family | High-performance NFC frontends | NXP  Supports NFC Cockpit and NFC Reader Library RF standard compliance: ISO/IEC 14443A and MIFARE, NTAG ®  and SmartMX ®  families Drone PX4 Robotic Drone FMU | RDDRONE-FMUK66  Proven business-friendly open source software with available enterprise support: PX4, QGroundControl Supports all airframes: Use it for Quadcopters, Hexacopter, VTOL, planes, rovers, cars, and other robots Rapid-IOT to Drone adapter board Rapid-IOT to Drone adapter board  Adapter board fully designed for Rapid IoT Prototyping Kit UAVCAN communication between drone and Rapid IOT Works with PX4 flight controllers such as RDDRONE-FMUK66 or Pixhawk NXP Rapid IoT Prototyping Kit Rapid IoT Prototyping Kit  Expandable to most IoT end-node use cases with 400+ Click boards™ Multiple sensors (Gyroscope, Acc/Mag., Barometer/Temp., Air Quality, Ambient light and capacitive touch)

  Overview   Libraries strive to provide great service and to ensure easy access to media products. With thousands of visitors choosing from copious books, CDs, videos, and computer games, storing and controlling inventory poses huge challenges. To reduce the waiting time for visitors and to relieve staff, most libraries that use RFID rely on RFID-powered self-service media checkout stations. This approach reduces labor, ensures that books are returned to shelves quickly, shortens wait times and encourages more people to visit the library. Taking inventory with the aid of RFID takes only a fraction of the time required with traditional systems. With RFID labels easily applied to all types of media, library staff can use handheld RFID readers to quickly, conveniently and reliably locate misplaced books or other items. New systems such as Smart Shelves enable real-time location of all media within the library.

Near Field Communication (NFC) is hot. It is available in hundreds of millions of smartphones, tablets, and other consumer electronics, and enters more and more the industrial space as well. This article shows how to implement the demos of our "Industrial NFC Demonstrator", first exhibited at embedded world 2017 in Nürnberg.           Parameterization & Diagnosis This demo shows how you can use an NFC phone to parameterize/configure a DIN rail module (or any other piece of electronics) with an NFC phone - even if the module is completely unpowered. The smart phone app lets you set the behavior of the lamps and also the language of the display. After the configuration (a simple tap) you switch on the main power, and the device comes up as configured. And NFC also lets you read out diagnostic data - no matter whether the device is powered on or off. So you can even replace your service UART by NFC. Thirdly, the demo shows how easy it is to even flash your firmware via NFC. Again, this works even when the device is switched off. This application is based on the NTAG I²C plus passive connected tag IC. See here a video from embedded world 2017 showing this demo.   Find a detailed description and all source codes here: https://community.nxp.com/docs/DOC-333834  Interested how this looks like in a commercial product? Watch this video showing how easily the Schneider Zelio NFC Timer Relay can be configured via NFC.   Device-to-device communication In this demo you see how NFC can establish a communication between 2 devices with up to 40 kbit/s. The angular position of the rotating disk is measured, communicated to the main board via NFC and displayed on an LED ring. The nice thing: The rotating disk is without battery. Energy harvesting via NFC provides supply power up to 15mW. This principle of using NFC as a cable replacement is especially interesting in cases where you want to communicate with fully sealed, isolated, moving or rotating units. The communication is bi-directional, and the data can be static (a button press, or configuration data) or dynamic (sensor measurements). The demo is based on the CLRC663 plus reader on the main unit and the NTAG I²C plus passive connected tag on the rotating disk. See here the video from embedded world 2017 demonstrating this application.   Find a detailed description and all source codes here: https://community.nxp.com/docs/DOC-333917       Access control In the Physical Access Control demo, we show a simple implementation of a basic access control solution using a Type 4 tag and a CLRC663 plus based reader, based on the public NFC Reader Library. NXP recommends for a complete real-life access control solution to use MIFARE DESFire credentials as with the MIFARE DESFire EV2 card. Supporting software library is under NDA. In this video from embedded world 2017 you see access control in action.   Download the source code here: http://nxp.com/assets/downloads/data/en/software/RC663Demo_ReadNdefT4T_v1.2.zip           1-tap Bluetooth Pairing This demo shows how easy it is to pair wireless devices to your phone with NFC - using an example of the Kinetis KW41 Freedom board (BLE MCU), with an NTAG I²C plus kit for Arduino® pinout for the NFC function. This new NTAG I²C plus kit is suitable for any board featuring an Arduino-compatible header, including LPCXpresso, Kinetis and i.MX boards. It is the ideal tool to evaluate and design-in an NTAG I²C plus tag chip in an embedded electronic system. Find a detailed description and all source codes here: https://community.nxp.com/docs/DOC-335241     Automation with Hexiwear A nice example of how to build versatile applications, is shown in the automation demo with the Hexiwear IOT development platform. Based on Kinetis MCUs and hundreds of available click-boards (plug-ins with sensors, actuators, transceivers - and of course also NFC), you can quickly build a prototype of your application. Two NFC-based click-boards are available: 1) A reader board based on PN7120 2) A board with NTAG I²C plus The automation demo uses 3 different Hexiwear base boards, connected between them via Zigbee. The NFC unit identifies a technician's badge, and also the tools he uses for his job. The second unit drives the instrument panel, and the third one the big LED screen. A video from embedded world 2017 shows how this works.   Find more information on Hexiwear at www.hexiwear.com.   Our partners in the NFC industrial demonstrator We would like to extend a special thanks to our partners who contributed to this demonstrator: Lab ID and Arti Grafiche Julia: NFC/RFID cards, tickets, labels and inlays Kronegger: Demo on logical access control, NFC reader modules and customized solutions Neosid: Small NFC/RFID transponders for tool identification and authentication   Find out more Discover NFC Everywhere: www.nxp.com/nfc All about MIFARE: https://www.mifare.net Get your technical NFC questions answered: https://community.nxp.com/community/nfc
