Pax device APDU NFC & Mifare Ultralight C

[thibaut]

Hello,

I'm developing on Pax device and I want to manage Mifare ULTRALIGHT C (MF0ICU2)

Pax devices use a custom PayDroid OS and not a standard android, consequently, I don't have NFC android libraries. 

I need to install something call NeptuneLiteAPI that expose IPCC via a library.

First, I'm a little bit lost with naming convention & standard. Api is speaking about :

• ISO14443
  • A or B
  • 1,2 or 3
• M1 card

Normally, Ultralight C is 14443 Type A, but I can't read my card with this option, I succeed to read with "M1 Card" option. What is a M1 card ? it it Classic 1k?

Documentation mention that I need to use APDU and expose some command to execute this kind of call

I succeed to read and write the card (with M1 function), the library expose default read/write method that use compatibility mode compatible with my card

Now, i'm trying to configure authentication and to send some command to the chip, via the APDU command.

Here is a simplication of the code I can use

iPicc = getDal().getPicc(piccType);

iPicc.open();
while(){
PiccCardInfo cardInfo = iPicc.detect(EDetectMode.ONLY_M);

if(cardInfo!=null){

//Read : works

byte[] page0=iPicc.m1Read((byte) 0);

// Write : works

iPicc.m1Write((byte)(13),hexStringToByteArray("AAAAAAAA000000000000000000000000"));

}

For writing, i have 3 methods:

• byte[] :  isoCommand(byte cid, byte[] send)
• ApduRespInfo : isoCommandByApdu(byte cid, ApduSendInfo apduSendInfo)
• byte[] cmdExchange(byte[] dataIn, int recvLen)
• All these method ask for an APDU command.

if I understood well, Mifare Ultralight C does't respect APDU but APDU is the only way?

And on some website, I found that using instruction class "FF", I can sent direct instruction to chip.
But I'm lost in the command I need to send, and I try several.
I have the error (unfortunatly, they are the one NeptuneLiteAPi and not a standard one).

• No specific card in sensing area, or card is not activated PICC#3(not search card error)
• PICC#97(unexpected error)

But it's strange, I well detect the card just before and succeed to read/write, so the card is well "connected"

I tried several commands (direct instruction, APDU instruction, CRC computation), nothing works.

 //byte[] cmd2 = iPicc.isoCommand(cardInfo.getCID(), CryptageUtils.hexStringToByteArray("30")); // PICC#97(unexpected error)
 //byte[] cmd2 = iPicc.isoCommand(cardInfo.getCID(), CryptageUtils.hexStringToByteArray("3004")); // PICC#97(unexpected error)
 //byte[] cmd2 = iPicc.isoCommand(cardInfo.getCID(), CryptageUtils.hexStringToByteArray("3000")); // PICC#97(unexpected error)
 //byte[] cmd2 = iPicc.isoCommand(cardInfo.getCID(), CryptageUtils.hexStringToByteArray("3000A802"));  // Avec CRC  => No specific card in sensing area, or card is not activated PICC#3(not search card error)
 //byte[] cmd2 = iPicc.isoCommand(cardInfo.getCID(), CryptageUtils.hexStringToByteArray("300002A8"));  // Avec CRC inversé =>  No specific card in sensing area, or card is not activated PICC#3(not search card error)

 //byte[] cmd2 = iPicc.cmdExchange(CryptageUtils.hexStringToByteArray("3000A802"),17); // Card is not activated. PICC#3(not search card error)
// byte[] cmd2 = iPicc.isoCommand(cardInfo.getCID(), CryptageUtils.hexStringToByteArray("30000000"));  // No specific card in sensing area, or card is not activated PICC#3(not search card error)
 //byte[] cmd2 = iPicc.isoCommand(cardInfo.getCID(), CryptageUtils.hexStringToByteArray("ff300000"));  // No specific card in sensing area, or card is not activated PICC#3(not search card error)
 //byte[] cmd2 = iPicc.isoCommand(cardInfo.getCID(), CryptageUtils.hexStringToByteArray("ff30000F"));  // No specific card in sensing area, or card is not activated PICC#3(not search card error)
 //byte[] cmd2 = iPicc.isoCommand(cardInfo.getCID(), CryptageUtils.hexStringToByteArray("FFCA00000004")); // No specific card in sensing area, or card is not activated PICC#3(not search card error)
 //byte[] cmd2 = iPicc.isoCommand(cardInfo.getCID(), CryptageUtils.hexStringToByteArray("3000000004")); // No specific card in sensing area, or card is not activated PICC#3(not search card error)
 //byte[] cmd2 = iPicc.isoCommand(cardInfo.getCID(), CryptageUtils.hexStringToByteArray("3001")); // No specific card in sensing area, or card is not activated PICC#3(not search card error)

 If anyone can well me or put me on the right way, I would really appreciate.

Regards.

Hello @thibaut and @Erableto,

did you find the answer to your question?
Because we have the same problem on our side.

Hi Thibaut. Did you figure it out? I'm doing the same as you but with a Mifare Classic 1k and I have the same problems. I'm looking for help too.

I will keep you posted with any progress I manage to make. I hope we can get this done together.

Regards.
