Dear Martin, Still few questions:)
---------------------------- > Not to NXP's S2C but to NFC-WI, which is standardized in ECMA-373 > (you'll find that on Google). I was thinking S2C is an NXP implementation (e.g. the commercial name) of the NFC-WI. Both,S2C and NFC-WI, looks pretty similar. So in fact, even they using similar approach, we are talking about two different technologies? So having the NFC controller, e.g. Samsung S3FHRN2 (http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/support/ brochures/downloads/systemlsi/S3FHRN2.pdf), which declared the NFC-WI support we are talking about 2 different, probably not compatible solutions? So theoretical SD card supporting S2C might not be compatible with ECMA NFC-WI standard and vice verse? ---------------------------- > The longer answer: At least the PN532 could be put into a software card > emulation mode, where the PN532 acted like a passive card and the > software stack could handle the APDU commands on top of ISO14443-4 When talking about PN532 and its card emulation capabilities, are you sure the controller emulates the smart card even without having attached the SmartMX secure element? I checked the dat asheet abstract (http://www.nxp.com/documents/leaflet/75016623.pdf) and it says "Card emulation functionality compatible to ISO/IEC 14443 A when connected to secure controller (SmartMX P5CN072)"? ---------------------------- NXP delivers to Samsung, SonyEricssion, Nokia, etc. the S2C might be pretty widespread, right? But since S2C is NXP proprietary do you know if other NFC IC manufacturers are going to support NFC-WI? Any clues? ---------------------------- I tried to look on the Inside Secure portfolio also. I think this company is 2nd biggest NFC IC manufacturer. They are dealing I think with RIM and lately also with the ZTE. I was looking on what I suppose is their NFC controller flag ship - the MicroRead NFC controller (http://www.insidesecure.com/eng/Products/NFC-Products/MicroRead) and it does not mention NFC-WI in the data sheet abstract, but it says: "It can, for example, act as a router and its powerful command set allows all elements of the chosen architecture to interact in a controlled manner (SIM, SE, SD card, Application Processor and NFC interfaces).This allows for implementation of various business models by mobile operators and third parties.". Do you know anything about that? Thanks a lot, STeN -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
