1. Introduction

This document gives a description on how to get started with the OM5578 PN7150 NFC-

Controller SBC Kit on BeagleBone Black platform. This document provides a step by

step guide to the installation procedure of the hardware and the software. Finally, it

shows PN7150 NFC Controller functionalities through demonstration application.

1.1 OM5578/PN7150BBB demo kit

OM5578/PN7150BBB kit is a high performance fully NFC compliant expansion board for

BeagleBone Black (refer to [1] for more details). It meets compliance with Reader mode,

P2P mode and Card emulation mode standards. The board features an integrated high-

performance RF antenna to insure high interoperability level with NFC devices.

The demo kit is comprised of a PN7150 NFC Controller Board, a dedicated interface

board, and a NFC Sample Card.

The demo kit is fully described in UM10935 document [4].

1.2 Linux driver support

PN7150 NFC Controller is supported under GNU/Linux system using the NXP Linux

libnfc-nci software stack delivered through public GitHub repository

https://github.com/NXPNFCLinux/linux_libnfc-nci (for more details, refer to AN11697 [2]).

1.3 Android driver support

PN7150 NFC Controller is supported from the official Android Open Source Project (refer

to [5] for more details) with the addition of dedicated patches (refer to AN11690 [3]).

2. Quick Startup on BeagleBone

2.1 Required items

• BeagleBone Black [1]

• MicroSD card of at least 4 Gb (8 Gb for Android demo image)

• 5V adapter to power the BeagleBone (Note:Micro USB cable doesn’t provide the 5V

required by the antenna supply of the OM5578/PN7150S board. Without it no RF

field can be generated by the OM5578).

• USB Keyboard

• USB Mouse

• USB Hub to connect both Mouse and Keyboard to the BeagleBone

• HDMI cable to connect to a Monitor / TV

• Computer (running Windows, Linux or Mac OS X) for MicroSD card installation

• BeagleBone demo image file (see [6])

2.2 Hardware setup

First of all, assemble the PN7150 NFC Controller Board with the BeagleBone Interface

Board.

2.3 Software setup

Prepare a MicroSD card, with the downloaded BeagleBone demo image (see [6]),

following the installation guidelines. First extract the “.img” file from the archive, then

flash it on the microSD card according to below guidelines.

2.3.1 On Windows

Insert the MicroSD card into your computer (note the device drive letter), and using

Win32 Disk Imager, write the image into it:

2.3.2 On Linux

Insert the MicroSD card into your computer and determine the device node assigned to it

(ignore the device number; e.g. /dev/sdb, not sdb1):

$ sudo dmesg | tail -20

[95300.848154] usb 2-1: new high-speed USB device number 33 using ehci-pci

[95300.983859] usb 2-1: New USB device found, idVendor=14cd, idProduct=6d00

[95300.983872] usb 2-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=3, SerialNumber=2

[95300.983880] usb 2-1: Product: USB 2.0 SD/MMC READER

[95300.983888] usb 2-1: Manufacturer: SDMMC M121

[95300.984593] usb-storage 2-1:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected

[95300.984882] scsi18 : usb-storage 2-1:1.0

[95301.985555] scsi 18:0:0:0: Direct-Access USB 2.0 SD/MMC Reader PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 CCS

[95301.988277] sd 18:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk

Fig 5. Identifying device number under Linux

Then, unmount the device node using following command:

sudo umount /dev/devicenode

Finally flash the image to the device node using following command:

sudo dd if=path_to_image_file.img of=/dev/devicenode bs=1M

2.3.3 On MAC OS X

Using PiFiller (see https://learn.adafruit.com/beaglebone-black-installing-operating-

systems/mac-os-x), select the image file then insert the MicroSD card into your computer

to flash it.

2.4 Linux NFC demo application

2.4.1 Application details

The demo application is part of the Linux libnfc-nci stack available on public GitHub

repository https://github.com/NXPNFCLinux/linux_libnfc-nci. The related source code can

then be found there (more details in document AN11697 [2]).

2.4.2 Starting Linux NFC demo

Insert the MicroSD card in the BeagleBone. Connect HDMI Display, mouse and

keyboard via the USB Hub. Finally supply the BeagleBone using 5V adapter.

The BeagleBone boots and displays the bone-debian GUI:

Fig 6. bone-debian GUI

Open a terminal and browse to the Linux libnfc-nci stack directory (refer to chapter 1.2 for

more details about the Linux NFC software stack).

$ cd ~/linux_libnfc-nci

The application requires parameters to run:

$ ./nfcDemoApp <OPTIONS>

You can get the parameters details by launching the application help menu:

$ ./nfcDemoApp –-help

Fig 7. Linux demo application commands

The demo application offers 3 modes of operation:

•Polling: continuously waiting for a remote NFC device (tag or peer device) and

displays related information

•Tag writing: allows writing NDEF content to a NFC tag

•Device push: allows pushing NDEF content to a remote NFC peer device

2.4.2.1 Polling mode

When in this mode, the application will display information of any discovered NFC tags or

remote NFC device.

It is reached starting the application with “poll” parameter:

$ ./nfcDemoApp poll
