Topic: SDID 1010 (SD NFC Reader/Writer)

The SDID 1010 is basically a SD RFID SDIO device that supposedly has NFC capabilities... (I've yet to see anywhere that says the chipset used)

So does anyone think this could become compatible with libnfc? or how it would be possible?

That could be possible if you can:
- Wrap existing (and proprietary) API behing libnfc API, i.e. write a driver for libnfc that use SDiD driver. Or,
- Optain low-level commands (probably SPI ones) from "Wireless Dynamics" to write a libnfc driver that drive the device without using provided driver.

The first can be impossible to do due to the way that the actual driver run.
The second is, IMHO, the best one but "Wireless Dynamics" can refuse to provide theses low-level commands set, if its the case, reverse-engineering will be the only solution...

I hope it helps.

PS: I'm interesting in having another device that don't use the pn53x supported in libnfc and this package (Secure Card) could be usefull for many users that use handheld device or so.
