Hello Suraj,

Do you have a specific TRF7960A evaluation board you are using?

If not, please see Section 1.3 of our device FAQ guide for the recommendation evaluation hardware and software which will also be capable of reading the RF37S114 tag: http://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/sloa248

Hello Suraj,

The TRF7960ATB is not compatible with the LaunchPad you listed and we don't have software for the TRF7960A for that MSP430 anyways. Please get the hardware outlined in Section 1.3 of our FAQ and use the recommended TI provided software to evaluate the TRF79xxA devices w/ the RF37S114.

CCS would be needed if you plan to modify our code, or you can use UniFlash to load the binary onto your LaunchPad.

Hello Suraj,

No. The TRF7960A is an NFC transceiver, it cannot operate without a host MCU. Any MCU with sufficient GPIO and SPI functionality can be used but all our code examples are on MSP430.

I have very clearly outlined what you need to do to use our products, our FAQ guides exist for a reason. Read them. Get the CORRECT hardware. Use our example software. Any other method is a waste of both your time and mine.
