3STM32 MPU OpenSTLinux Software Expansion Package Overview

Software Description

•X-LINUX-NFC5 is a software expansion package

developed to demonstrate RFAL (Radio Frequency

Abstraction Layer) library for NFC based applications on

STM32MP157F-DK2 using ST25R3911B NFC device

•UID and NFC tag type is displayed on screen when the

tag is paced in range NFC antenna of X-NUCLEO-

NFC05A1 board.

•Demo application detect NFC Tag types such as NFC-A,

NFC-B, NFC-V and other types supported by RFAL library

•The package is easy to port across different Linux based

platforms with compatible hardware interface.

Setup & Demo Example

Hardware Pre-requisites

STM32MP157F-DK2

(Discovery Kit)

X-NUCLEO-NFC05A1

Software requirements

•Boot the Discovery Kit with Starter Package. Please refer

to instructions at wiki page Getting Started with

STM32MP157F-DK2 baord

•Download the X-LINUX-NFC5 package. Extract it to find

the pre-built images for evaluation

•Follow instructions on wiki page to copy the pre-built files

and device tree blob at correct locations (or build using

Developer Package and source code of application),

restart the Discovery Kit and run the Demo application.

•Snapshot of running application on Discovery Kit. Remote

terminal applications such as Tera-Term or Minicom can

also be used

Setup & Demo Example

Software Pre-requisites

•Boot the STM32MP157F-DK2 board with Starter Package. Please refer to instructions at wiki page Getting Started with

STM32MP157F-DK2 board

•Download the X-LINUX-NFC5 package and transfer the below files to respective locations on board using Tera-Term (see

next slide for help)–

•Connect to Discovery Kit using Tera-Term- settings below –

•Baud 115200

•For COM port number, check device manager for enumeration similar to below snapshot

•Once connected run below commands –

•Run the application using below commands -

Installation Steps

Board $> /sbin/depmod –a

Board $> sync

Board $> reboot

Downloaded File Location in DK2 Board

STM32MP157F-DK2_DeviceTree/Binaries/stm32mp157f-dk2.dtb /boot/

NFCPollerApplication/Binaries/nfc_poller_st25r3911 /usr/bin/

NFCPollerApplication/Binaries/librfal_st25r3911.so /usr/lib/

Board $> cd /usr/bin

Board $> ./nfc_poller_st25r3911

•Connect the Discovery Kit to the Internet / Intranet via LAN or Wi-Fi and use ssh commands for accessing the board or scp

command for transferring files. Any alternate method can be used for file transfer / access. For example, below steps need

to be executed on TERA-TERM :

•Connect the Discovery Kit to your PC via USB type-A to type-micro B cable.

•Check the Virtual COM port number visible in the device manager. For example, in below snapshot, the COM port

number is 14.

•Open Tera-Term on your PC and select the COM port (as found in step 3 above). The baud rate should be 115200 baud.

The virtual terminal (remote access) will appear.

•To transfer a file from host PC to Discovery Kit, click on File menu on top left corner of the Tera-Tem window and go to

File>>Transfer>>ZMODEM>>Send. The select desired file for sending it to the /usr location of Discovery Kit. Below
