AM625: RFID for AM625

Hi Sonia,

It is hard for TI to make part recommendations other than what are on TI EVMs. For example TI Ethernet PHYs are on the TI EVMs.

I can provide some general advice based on past experiences and other devices. I have not worked yet with a RFID device. For purpose of discussion I will assume the OS planned to be used on your project is Linux. The most important piece of advice is to pick a device that has a maintained open source driver. Maintained means that the vendor is updating the driver when new kernel versions are released. 

I would recommend that you pick a RFID vendor that has an EVM and open source driver. You might also check if the driver is available through the Debian apt-get process so you can use the TI Debian file system on the TI EVM to add that driver. Another key bit of advice is pick a vendor that has a DTS (device tree source) example that you will need for the necessary DTS change to bind the RFID to the TI EVM over SPI.

Best Regards,

Schuyler
