OpenEmbedded/Yocto layer for NXP's NFC stack ============================================ This layer provides support for NXP's NFC NCI driver, user space lib, and demo application. The layer is SoC/CPU agnostic and can be used with any OpenEmbedded/Yocto Project BSP, as long as the base layers provide board support for at least the 4 NFC essential signals required by the NFC shields: *I2C Clock from the processor *I2C Data from the processor *IRQ from the NFC board to the processor *Enable signal from the processor to the NFC board Dependencies ------------ This layer depends on: URI: git://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core branch: master revision: HEAD Testing ------- The following environment has been used for development and tests: Boards: i.MX6UL-EVK + OM5577/PN7120S OpenEmbedded/Yocto BSP layers URI: git://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core branch: master revision: HEAD URI: git://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded branch: master revision: HEAD URI: git://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-fsl-arm branch: master revision: HEAD To test the NFC stack integration, one can add the nxp-nfc-bin package to any system image. The bin package is provided by the same recipe that provides the nxp-nfc lib package, which in turn depends on the external kernel driver module package, also part of this layer. Once the system is up and running, the following command will poll for NFC tags, and will print the content read from the NFC tag to the screen: # nfcDemoApp poll Notes ----- The SW stack enabled by this layer is custom implementation, non-compliant to the mainstream Linux NFC Project. Additional information about the SW stack is available in the following references: https://www.nxp.com/documents/application_note/AN11697.pdf https://github.com/NXPNFCLinux/linux_libnfc-nci/tree/master/doc/Linux_NFC_API_Guide Contributing ------------ To contribute to this layer you should send the patches for review to the mailing list.
