Topic: Where to start with libnfc?

Hi Guys,

I'm completely new to libnfc and interfacing with hardware in general (except for a little Arduino!).

As part of my final year college project I want to incorporate NFC. The application will be build with C#.NET.

I'm just wondering where to go now and how I can start using libnfc.

Are there any sample apps out there where I can get a look at the source code?

Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Re: Where to start with libnfc?

Hi makko,

Libnfc is written in C, so you will have to bring it to C#.NET if needed.

Libnfc archive provides some examples, utils and documentation (generated using Doxygen) but ATM libnfc does not provide an "SDK" to do easily NFC. That provides an hardware abstraction layer, understand driver, for PN53x device series.

To be able to use libnfc, you will need to understand NFC, so start reading white papers and technical specifications from NFC-Forum.

I hope it helps.
