Error libnfc.driver.pn532_uart Application level error detected

I am trying to operate a PN532 from HiLetGo over UART connection (not usb) using libnfc on a Le Potato (AML-S905X-CC) with raspbian image "2022-09-22-raspbian-bullseye-arm64-lite+aml-s905x-cc.img"

When I do nfc-scan-device, it seems to correctly identify it:
nfc-scan-device
nfc-scan-device uses libnfc libnfc-1.8.0-65-g42de50f
1 NFC device(s) found:

  • PN532 board via UART:
    pn532_uart:/dev/ttyAML6

But when I do nfc-list:
nfc-list
NFC device: PN532 board via UART opened
error libnfc.driver.pn532_uart Application level error detected
error libnfc.driver.pn532_uart Application level error detected

I am trying to troubleshoot this since when I try using another library "nfcpy" to detect the device, it fails:
python3 -m nfc --search-tty
This is the 1.0.4 version of nfcpy run in Python 3.9.2
on Linux-6.1.26-05272-g26c406245a2c-aarch64-with-glibc2.31
I'm now searching your system for contactless devices
Sorry, but I couldn't find any contactless device

Also I tried making a program to explicitly find the device on /dev/ttyAML6 which is where it is located.

Please let me know if there is anything else I should clarify.

Thank you!

I want to add on that the polling seems to work:
./nfc-poll
/src/libnfc/examples/.libs/nfc-poll uses libnfc libnfc-1.8.0-65-g42de50f
NFC reader: PN532 board via UART opened

Is your user in the dialout group? It could possibly contribute to some issues. You could also try using sudo when running the commands to see if that works as well (if not already running under root)
