Using ST25R3911B-DISCO

[Lukas3]

How can i use the ST25R3911B-DISCO without the GUI of ST?

 

Maybe with the help of the Framework, but how can I use the code or is there any documentation, because i can not found any.

Hi,

ST25R3911B-DISCO is a ready-to-use kit with a PC GUI interacting with the embedded FW. The embedded FW needs to receive commands from a host (e.g. a PC with the GUI). If you want to not use the ST GUI, you need to provide your own application to send commands to the embedded FW. See Dll3911_Demos.sln for example of code on top of the ST25R3911B communication DLL: this can be used as a starting point for your own application.

If you are looking for a development board with a standalone FW, I would rather recommend to use the X-NUCLEO-NFC05A1 board and the X-CUBE-NFC5 FW package.

Feel free to provide more information about your application (i.e. is it a standalone application running on an MCU or a PC application).

Thanks for that information.

My project is a standalone application running on a MCU. I want to read/send data to a NFC-Tag and want to see the data on a screen/ on the PC via a terminal.

 

If this is working it should be part in a embedded System with other devices.

Hi,

if I understand well, the PC is only used as a logging terminal to display data and not as a controlling host. In that case, I would use an X-NUCLEO-NFC05A1 connected to an MCU board such as a NUCLEO-L476RG and I would connect the PC to the STLink Virtual Com Port (VCP) of the NUCLEO-L476RG. The X-CUBE-NFC5 FW package provides an NFC polling application that sends logging information such as tag UID to a PC through the VCP.
