Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TRF7970A, MSP430F2370

Hello

There is my question in below.

#1

I try to get communicating smartphone with NFC chips with this EVM board.

But, in reality, I do not have this type phone. instead of phone, what type emulator can I use such as card, NFC tag so on for testing purpose,

Is the communication protocol of smartphone with NFC chips same as  NFC tag ?

#2

How do  TRF7970A communicate with Microcontroller? Can I find more information such as  application note/source code?

Your feedback will be appreciated.

Thanks

    Looks like parallell or SPI interface can be used to communicate with TRF7970A (Read more here).

    Your feedback was appreciated.

    What type emulation Card will be used for testing purpose, unless smartphone with NFC chip is used?

    Thanks,

  • Hi David,

    A smartphone would be the real deal but otherwise have a look at the available NFC/RFID readers from TI.

    When reviewing TR7970AEVM Description,a few questions are surfaced,

    #1 MSP430F2370 Microcontroller is used. How to communcate between MSP430F2370 and TRF7970A Is there are example code for microcontroller? Also, if yes, how to complier MSP430F2370.

    #2 How to implement banking communication inside of MSP430. For example, once host gets card information and payment is through, MSP430 send confirmation signal to TRF7970A and then TRF7970A send conformation signal by Antenna to other card emulator.

    #3 how to executes TRF7970AEVM GUI /Executable/TRF7970A C Code Samples as Software (2).

    Your feedback will be appreciated.  

    Thanks
