Hi,

1. For Android 14 framework, it support NFC function.

    Will it need any patch for TRF7970A ?

About Android interoperability, this is explained in Frequently asked questions for TRF7970A and TRF7964A devices (Rev. B). See below. NFCLink stack is the latest firmware that support reader/write, P2P and Card Emulation. There is no additional patch. Please refer to NFCLink Standalone Getting Started Guide 

5.5 What Android handset interoperability is supported?

NFC functionality across various NFC-enabled Android phones and tablets varies based on the company and the model of the device. Different phones and tablets use different NFC chipsets and software stacks. Therefore, not all devices support the same subset of NFC modes. Some devices do not support Active P2P, while others do not support Host-based Card Emulation (HCE). For any questions about interoperability with TI’s NFC reference firmware examples concerning Peer-toPeer or Card Emulation modes, the corresponding application report should be reference. Each application report contains a table in the Interoperability Results section highlighting the tested NFC devices.

For example if you refer to NFC active and passive peer-to-peer communication using the TRF7970A (Rev. B), you will find the below results. 

If you go to NFC card emulation using the TRF7970A (Rev. B) you will find the below results.
