Hi Darius,

of course ST25R3911B supports sending/receiving all the frames and APDUs need for Mifare Desfire and even Mifare Classic.

AFAIK the full details of the commands etc. are only available under NDA with NXP. So our demo code does not have extensive support for these tags. Our source code will discover, anticollide and activate those cards but no support of cryptography/read/write/format is included. There is sample code inside XNUCLEO-NF05A1 for reading NFC Forum T4T. Mifare DesFire can be formatted as a T4T.

Regards, Ulysses
