How to use NUCLEO-L4R5ZI with X-NUCLEO-NFC08A1?

[CheeSiong]

Hi, i need help with the integration between NUCLEO-L4T5ZI and X-NUCLEO-NFC08A1 board.

What I tried is:

1. Create a project using STM32CubeIDE. 
2. Choose X-CUBE-NFC in the Middleware and Software Packs and update the configuration.
   1. Enabled SPI1
   2. Update the PIN assignment
      
      
   3.  Use the automatic code generation feature to generate the code
      1. the attachment is the .ioc file with the above settings Google Drive link 
   4. I found that after the code generation didnt generate the "rfal_utils.h" file, the X-CUBE-NFC is version 3.0.0 downloaded in the STM32CubeIDE MCU Embedded Software Packages Manager. So I copy the "rfal_utils.h" file from the ST X-CUBE-NFC6 download link
   5.  After copying the "rfal_utils.h" to the project, the project can be built successfully but the demo project not running successfully on the hardware.
   6. I probed the MISO/MOSI PIN with an oscilloscope and found no signal.
3. This is my project file -> Google Drive link
   Can anyone guide me? I'm a STM32 Beginner and this is my first time using the STM32 dev environment.

Hi @CheeSiong 

the rfal_utils.h issue has been already identified internally. A fix will be available in the next release of the X-CUBE-NFC6 package (likely in few days).

I had a look to the project file. The EXTI Line 3 interrupt has not been enabled:

This is the interrupt used by the ST25R3916B device to signal events. Make sure to enable this interrupt otherwise the system will stay stuck at initialization stage.

Also I would suggest to enable the ST25R_SELFTEST switch in your project to debug the initialization stage and to run the st25r3916Initialize step by step if you still have some issues.

Thanks, @Brian TIDAL , it works now!
By the way, may I ask how to enable the ST25R_SELFTEST?

Hi,

Well done!

Regarding your question "By the way, may I ask how to enable the ST25R_SELFTEST?": open the project properties:

and add the ST25R_SELFTEST in the Define symbols.
