Topic: Is PN512 supported by libnfc ?

Hello,

    My project is to make an android app that puts the phone into a card-emulator mode and then make it operational with a reader that is connected to a windows PC. The idea is that my phone should act as a credit card and should be able to process payments with the help of the reader. According to the specs(Real H/w yet arrive), the PC has PN512 board attached to it and the mobile is Google Nexus s. So my big question is whether i can use the libnfc library or not?(Reason i am asking is because in the site i can see support only for PN53x series)
   As i am completely new to NFC field, you may kindly provide any pointers that would guide me to achieve the above functionality.
cheers,
Sandy..!!

No, the PN512 is not supported by libnfc currently. BTW, you could wrote a libnfc's driver for it.

Before ask question, please be sure you have not already the same on active topics:

Read documentation provided by NFC Forum starting with "White papers".
