NP7150 NP7160 NFC readers

[chandrianAW]

Hello All, 

I have a board similar to a Raspberry pi (Khadas VIM4) and there is no shield for that board. What are the options of using this NFC reader without having to design an entire board around it for my SBC? Can I buy one of the shields and just jump wires where I need to? 

Thanks,

Please check the following board

Do you know if this is able to be run on an android device? I see some patches for android but I dont understand if they are just patches for Android Studio production or a library that allows me to run the scanner with the android.

Thanks,

Yes the PN7160 can run on android, but remember it needs a host, like an IMX or other MPU that can run android.

I got a reply that I should follow this procedure:
https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/application-note/AN11690.pdf

but when I try to clone the android git repo, I do not have the /vendor/NXP directory under vendors or the subdir NXP/NFC shown on page 7. Should I have a library already installed for this directory to be there? Please help. Thanks, Aaron

I am on a tight deadline. Someone please help if you can.

Ok I realized I need the full library first:
Clone the nxp-pn5xx repository into the kernel directory:
$ cd drivers/misc
$ git clone https://github.com/NXPNFCLinux/nxp-pn5xx.git

I do not have /driver/misc

Are there any guides on how to build this library for linux/android? does not seem trivial
