Compatible NFC devices

In this section we try to sum up the devices that are compatible with libnfc. Some of these products come from the same manufacturer and are just repackaged under a different brand name and sold by other resellers and vendors. They are grouped per interface driver. This list is probably far from complete, but we try to make it as accurate as possible.
Let us know in the community if you know more about certain products.

We encourage manufacturers to contact us for new PN53x based products so we can test and support them in the future.

[1] N/A in Supported column seems the device may works but haven't been tested.

[2] µC is an Arygon's microcontroler which is not used by libnfc. ATM, in libnfc this µC only slow down the connection with PN53x chip.
