PN532Tool

Tool which initializes and reads cards from PN532 nfc reader using HSU, which is connected into computer using either serial interface or usb->ttl converter.

How does it work

Initialization takes only 3 steps.

send: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff 00 ff 03 fd d4 58 00 d4 d4
[ack]: 00 00 ff 00 ff 00
send: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff 00 ff 02 fe d4 02 2a d4
recv: 00 00 ff 00 ff 00 00 00 ff 06 fa d5 03 32 01 06 07 e8 00
send: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff 00 ff 02 fe d4 04 28 d4
recv: 00 00 ff 00 ff 00 00 00 ff 06 fa d5 05 00 00 00 80 a6 00

No matter what 00 00 80 means, it simple indicates everything is ok

Card detected:

Read (10) bytes:01 01 00 04 08 04 e9 1f 04 ba

04 stands for length of the card address, it depends on the card type, it could consist of a quite big amount of bytes, check documentation for the card you're using.

e9 f1... is the id.

Usage

 -p[port]   tty port (default: /dev/ttyUSB0)
