PN7150 - NFC 2 Click - Write to a T2T Tag with NCI

Summary

This example project demonstrates the interface of the NFC NCI service by using the NFC controller PN7150 to write to a T2T Tag.

Required Hardware

• A BGM220P Explorer Kit board

• An NFC 2 Click

• A T2T tag (E.g. NFC 2 Tag Click)

Hardware Connection

The NFC 2 Click board can just be "clicked" into its place. Be sure that the board's 45-degree corner matches the Explorer Kit's 45-degree white line.

Setup

You can either create a project based on an example project or start with an empty example project.

Create a project based on an example project

1. From the Launcher Home, add the BRD4314A to My Products, click on it, and click on the EXAMPLE PROJECTS & DEMOS tab. Find the example project with the filter: nci.

2. Click Create button on the Third Party Hardware Drivers - PN7150 - Write to a T2T Tag with NCI example. Example project creation dialog pops up -> click Create and Finish and Project should be generated.

3. Build and flash this example to the board.

Start with an empty example project

1. Create an "Empty C Project" for the "BGM220 Explorer Kit Board" using Simplicity Studio v5. Use the default project settings.

2. Copy the file app/example/mikroe_nfc2_pn7150_nci_t2t_write/app.c into the project root folder (overwriting the existing file).

3. Install the software components:

   • Open the .slcp file in the project.

   • Select the SOFTWARE COMPONENTS tab.

   • Install the following components:

     • [Services] → [IO Stream] → [IO Stream: USART] → default instance name: vcom
     • [Application] → [Utility] → [Log]
     • [Application] → [Utility] → [Assert]
     • [Platform] → [Driver] → [GPIOINT]
     • [Services] → [Timers] → [Sleep Timer]
     • [Third Party Hardware Drivers] → [Wireless Connectivity] → [PN7150 - NFC 2 Click (Mikroe) - I2C] → use default configuration
     • [Third Party Hardware Drivers] → [Services] → [NFC] → [NFC - NCI] → use default configuration
     • [Third Party Hardware Drivers] → [Services] → [NFC] → [NFC - Common]
     • [Third Party Hardware Drivers] → [Services] → [NFC] → [NFC - Tag]
     • [Third Party Hardware Drivers] → [Services] → [NFC] → [NFC - NDEF]

4. Build and flash this example to the board.

Note:

• Make sure that the SDK extension already be installed. If not please follow this documentation.

• Third-party Hardware Drivers Extension must be enabled for the project to install any extension components.

How It Works

After initialization, the application automatically looks for nearby compatible tags. Place a T2T tag near NFC 2 Click board. After detecting a tag, the application write an NFC message with a record that contains the following URL to a type 2 tag.

You can launch Console that's integrated into Simplicity Studio or use a third-party terminal tool like TeraTerm to receive the data from the USB. A screenshot of the console output is shown in the figure below.
