4 PN5180 NFC Cockpit
The PN5180 NFC Cockpit can be installed and started (see Fig 16).
1. Status when starting the NFC Cockpit with connected PNEV5180B board, but older PN5180 FW is used.
Figure 16. NFC Cockpit Initial view
After starting the NFC Cockpit, the communication link between the PC and the
PNEV5180B (via the LPC interface) is enabled automatically.
Note: The PN5180 NFC Cockpit is a development tool, and therefore allows many
different kind of operations, even “useless” ones at a first glance. The correct use of the
NFC Cockpit is required to operate the PN5180 properly.
Example: without enabling the Field no card can be operated, even though the PN5180
can be operated.
4.1 NFC Cockpit Reader tab
The Fig 17 shows the activation of a MIFARE DESFire card, using the <Load Protocol>
+ <Field On> + <Activate Layer3>, followed by <Activate Layer4>. The PN5180 NFC
Cockpit shows the card responses like ATQA, SAK, and ATS.
Afterwards the ISO/IEC 14443-4 protocol can be used to exchange data. The Fig 17
shows the MIFARE DESFire command “Get Application ID” (0x6A), which returns the
AIDs.
Note: Make sure that either the CRC is enabled or added manually in the data field.
