1 Introduction

The purpose of this document is to describe how to use NFC-Bluetooth® Low Energy

development kit. It provides an easy way to evaluate NFC features in the combination

with Bluetooth Low Energy.

The NFC-Bluetooth Low Energy package consists of two HW Boards boards, QN9020

Mini Development board and NFC RC663 Plus Add-on board. Both boards and software

applications, used for demonstration, are described in next chapters.

2 Hardware Description

2.1 Introduction

This chapter describes hardware parts of the NFC-Bluetooth Low Energy development

kit.

2.1.1 Kit Contents

The NFC-Bluetooth Low Energy development kit includes the following:

•QN9020 Mini Development kit

•CLRC663 plus Add-on board

2.2 QN9020 Mini Development kit

The QN9020DK board is designed to make it as easy as possible to get started with your

project based on NXP® QN9020 Bluetooth Low Energy SOC.

The QN9020 Mini development board provides easy access to peripherals such as

buttons, piezo buzzer and LED. The board also provides useful interfaces such as a

USB port for UART communication and J-Link debug, and a GPIO/optional sensor board

connector.

This document describes how to use it in combination with NFC. The figure below shows

the board and main components.

3 Software Description

3.1 Introduction

This chapter describes software setup and how to run the NFC-Bluetooth Low Energy

demo application.

The purpose of the demo application is to manage data on the NFC tag through the

application running on a mobile device. The user select read or write command on the

device, which is sent to the NFC-Bluetooth Low Energy device via Bluetooth Low Energy.

When NFC-Bluetooth Low Energy device receives the command, it executes it and

sends the results back to the phone.

The demo also supports Over‐The‐Air (OTA) programming.

Software stack used in this demo is prepared for the NFC-Bluetooth Low Energy

development kit and smartphone. Demo application is split in two, the first application is

required for the NFC-Bluetooth Low Energy development kit and the second application

for the smartphone. The current version of the demo is supporting only iPhone.

Software stacks are custom developed for this solution to fit special requirements.
