Topic: NXP PN533 Demo board

hello,

I installed the libnfc on Windows XP plateform and lauch nfc-list. All i get is "INFO: No device found".
I use a NXP PN533 demo board. How can I acces it through libnfc? Do I have to install a windows driver?
How does the libray detect the device ?

Regards,

Hello,

Where did you buy the NXP PN533 demo board? Is there any online shop selling that?

Hello,

The better is to buy an ASK LoGO, that is directly compliant with the PN533 demo board. It is cheap, high RF power, with nice casing.

Hello,

I accessed the same problem with you, but after installed driver with libusb-win32, the issue still happened: NFC device can't be found. Is there any further advice?

Thanks for your kindly help.

Please check two important points :
1) You should not install the driver provided with the product (or uninstall it)
2) You have to create and install a driver with libusb

libusb-win32 documentation wrote:

Use the INF-Wizard program to generate the INF file.
[...]
When Windows asks for a driver, choose the inf-file(s) created above.

I hope it helps.

Hi Conty:

  Thanks for your help, that issue had been resolved. But i got another issue: When using libnfc on windows, the limit times of USB read/write seems too short that it always caused error of "[usb_reap_async] timeout error".  By the way, the chip moudle is also NXP PN533.

Hi jason,

which version of libnfc are you using? This should have been resolved since r1105     i think.
Also make sure you are using libusb-win32 >= 1.2.4.6

Hi glenn,

Yes, you are right. This issue had been fixed since r1105, its my careless mistake for not updated the DLL file in system32. Thanks again for your help.

Best Regards
