CR95HF - Linux RFAL demo

[JPate.3]

Is there any example source code that I can use for controlling CR95HF from user space application in Linux using SPI?

If not, what is the timeline for releasing CR95HF Linux RFAL port ?

Regards,

Jimit

​Hi

as of today, Linux demos for Raspberry Pi have been officially released only for ST25R3911B and for ST25R3916 NFC reader devices. 

The attached file (Linux_RFAL_st25r95_v2.0.4.tar.gz) contains a snapshot of a  non-released Linux demo of ST25R95 / CR95HF for Raspberry Pi using X-NUCLEO-NFC03A1. This package provides a pure user space port of the RFAL (RF Abstraction Layer) onto the Raspberry Pi 3 Linux platform operating the XNUCLEO-NFC03A1.

Hardware requirements:

• Raspberry Pi 3 Model B V1.2
• X-NUCLEO-NFC03A1
• 8 GB micro SD card to boot Raspberry Pi    
• Bridge board to connect X-NUCLEO NFC03A1 with Raspberry Pi Arduino Adapter for Raspberry Pi, Part No. ARPI600

See UM2375 for the environment setup and for the build of the RFAL lib and application.

Note: The ARPI600 incorrectly supplies 5V to the Arduino IOREF pin. Fix: cut the CN6.2 (IOREF) pin on the XNUCLEO-NFC03A1

For an official release of the Linux demo on ST25R95 / CR95HF NFC reader, I would suggest you contact your ST local sales and marketing representative
