Dear everybody,
I read in MF3D(H)x3 datasheet (MIFARE DESFire EV3 contactless multi-application IC (nxp.com)) that DESFire EV2 EV3 were designed in order to maintain backward compatibility.
I wish to know if this is due either to the reader or to the card itself:
- does a EV3 card work on a EV2 reader ?
- or should I have a both EV2-EV3 compatible reader to read EV3 cards ?
Many thanks for being kind enough to answer such a noob question.
Best regards

Hi @SecDept ,
This is due to the reader, as mentioned in the data sheet, "MIFARE DESFire EV3 can be used as a MIFARE DESFire EV2 or a MIFARE DESFire EV1 in its default delivery configuration", so a EV3 card work with a EV2 reader.
Hope that makes sense,
Have a great day,
Kan
