How to enable NFC ECP(Enhanced Contactless Polling)

[asknxp]

Hi there,

I am using a nfc usb dongle that is based on NXP's PN7150. https://www.mikroe.com/nfc-usb-dongle

PN7150 brochure mentioned it can support ECP https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/brochure/PN7150X_LF.pdf

I have no problem to compile linux_libnfc-nci(https://github.com/NXPNFCLinux/linux_libnfc-nci.git) and run the demo App.

Go through its API documentation but it does not mention anything related to ECP. Do you know how to enable ECP through NXP's linux_libnfc-nci library? Thank you very much.

Hello,

Hope you are doing well. That USB Dongle from MIKROE is based on NXP's PN7150. The brochure you mentioned is for PN7150X.

You can find the PN7150's documentation here, the Data Sheet, some Application Notes, the User Manual and the Brochure.

Hope this helps.

Best Regards,

Ricardo

Thanks Ricardo.

Just checked PN7150 documentation link given by you. The documentation for PN7150 did not mention ECP. The project we are working on requires to use ECP. Do you know if there is any NFC usb dongle using PN7150X that can support ECP?  Thanks.

Hello Kenny,

Yes, you are correct. The PN7150 does not support ECP.

As you might know, the USB Dongle is not from NXP, we sell the Reader IC. And in MIKROE page, there is only this USB Dongle.

To use the PN7150X, you will need to contact an Apple’s Authorized Distributor of MFi Licensed Components and development tools. You can see this information on the NXP page and in the brochure you mentioned.
