MIFARE DESFire EV1 vs EV2

Hello,

I'm currently working on a project where I need to detect EV1 & EV2 cards. I'm using an STM32F207 (Cortex-m3) MCU and a TI TRF7970A as the RFID reader. I just wanted to know what the differences between the EV1 & EV2 cards are in terms of the detection requirements. The system I've set up is able to detect the EV2 cards seamlessly; but not the EV1 cards. Any Idea why this is happening?

Thank you!

Hello,

Please consider that the MIFARE DESFire EV2 is backwards with EV1 so it can be used as a MIFARE DESFire EV1 in its default delivery configuration, still here are some commands and processes that might vary between both of them .
Still, as you might know,  there are some of the documents and libraries which are under NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) and placed in docstore, could you please follow this guides?
