NxpNci_WaitForDiscoveryNotification function is not working with ISO15693 on SW6705 nfc_example_RW

[takshpatel]

Hello Devlopers,

We are currently developing a product where we are looking to interface PN7160 NFC reader with STM32WL micro controller to communicate with ST25DV04KC dynamic tag for sending and receiving data between NFC reader and ST25DV tag using the mailbox feature of ST25DV.

For this purpose i am using your example of SW6705 with ISO15693 protocol and nfc_example_RW function for read and write.

From this example i am able to connect the NxpNci_Connect,NxpNci_ConfigureSettings and in NxpNci_ConfigureMode i am using the NXPNCI_MODE_RW.

After that NxpNci_StartDiscovery can be done and im waiting for the NxpNci_WaitForDiscoveryNotification but i am not getting the notification and my code will stop at the while loop, 

my code snipet is given below,

bool NxpNci_WaitForDiscoveryNotification(NxpNci_RfIntf_t *pRfIntf)

 At this line my code is stop continously poll the discovery notification

    do
    {
        if(NxpNci_WaitForReception(Answer, sizeof(Answer), &AnswerSize, TIMEOUT_INFINITE) == NXPNCI_ERROR) return NXPNCI_ERROR;
    }while ((Answer[0] != 0x61) || ((Answer[1] != 0x05) && (Answer[1] != 0x03)));

The Answer is received is,

Answer[0] = 0x61,

Answer[1]=0x23,

Actually Answer[1] is received 0x05 or 0x03 but i get ox23,

So please suggest me i am doing Right or wrong configurations or not.

Hi　@takshpatel 

I would suggest you check power supply and settings in Nfc_settings.h.

Error you are getting is this one.
