Topic: Cardreader ACR 1222U and libnfc

Hello All,
I have a card reader ACR1222U-C3
this cardreader is very similar to ACR122U according to the specs on the website ACR but has a different color.
I installed libnfc-1.7.0-rc7 but

nfc-list-v
nfc-list uses libnfc 1.7.0-rc7
No NFC device found.

Please tell me what I can do to add the card reader to the list of supported libnfc?
Is it possible for solve this problem to use a driver written for ACR122U and what needs to change in other files.
Many thanks.

Re: Cardreader ACR 1222U and libnfc

Hi,

You could try:
nfc-scan-device -v

But I don't think it will be useful.

Next, you can try to add the vendor ID and product ID of your device to acr122_usb_supported_device struct in libnfc/drivers/acr122_usb.c

Please give us some feedback smile

Re: Cardreader ACR 1222U and libnfc

Hi and thank you for your answer.

I try to use the comand

nfc-scan-device -v

but I have the answer:

nfc-scan-device uses libnfc 1.7.0-rc7
No NFC device found.

If I use the

lsusb

I have an answer:

...
Bus 002 Device 006: ID 072f:1280 Advanced Card Systems, Ltd
...

In my opinion this line points to the card reader.
In the acsccid-1.0.4 library I found the same information 

...
072F 1280 ACR1222U-C3         ACS ACR1222 1SAM Dual Reader
...

I edit the enum

typedef enum {
  UNKNOWN,
  ACR122,
  ACR1222,
  TOUCHATAG,
} acr122_usb_model;

and the struct:

const struct acr122_usb_supported_device acr122_usb_supported_devices[] = {
  { 0x072F, 0x2200, ACR122,   "ACS ACR122" },
  { 0x072F, 0x90CC, TOUCHATAG,   "Touchatag" },
  { 0x072F, 0x1280, ACR1222,   "ACS ACR1222" }
};

and save file after this

3 comands for install nfc lib:

./configure
....
make
...
sudo make install

after success installation I use the comand:

nfc-scan-device -v

But I have the error answer:

nfc-scan-device uses libnfc 1.7.0-rc7
1 NFC device(s) found:
error    libnfc.driver.acr122_usb    Unable to claim USB interface (Operation not permitted)
nfc_open failed for acr122_usb:002:006

If I try to use

sudo nfc-list

I have an answer

nfc-list uses libnfc 1.7.0-rc7
error    libnfc.driver.acr122_usb    Too small reply
nfc-list: ERROR: Unable to open NFC device: acr122_usb:002:003

Could You help?

Many thanks.

Re: Cardreader ACR 1222U and libnfc

Hi, I don't know if can work for you. But try to re install libnfc with the PCSC driver. Because you are using the USB driver, but the does not work really well.

To install the PCSC driver I think you should use:

./configure --with-drivers=acr122_pcsc

  "ACS ACR122",         // ACR122U & Touchatag, last version
  "ACS ACR 38U-CCID",   // Touchatag, early version
  "ACS ACR38U-CCID",    // Touchatag, early version, under MacOSX
  "ACS AET65",          // Touchatag using CCID driver version >= 1.4.6
  "ACS ACR1222",
  "    CCID USB",       // ??
  NULL
};

and

#define FIRMWARE_TEXT "ACR1222U"

But the problem persists
Please help find the cause of this error

Re: Cardreader ACR 1222U and libnfc

Unfortunately I don't know how to solve the situation.
All I can suggest is to try following this commands:

wget libnfc.googlecode.com/files/libnfc-1.7.0-rc4.tar.gz
tar -xvzf libnfc-1.7.0-rc4.tar.gz
rm libnfc-1.7.0-rc4.tar.gz
cd ~
cd libnfc-1.7.0-rc4
./configure --with-drivers=acr122_pcsc && make clean
make clean
make
make install
sudo sh -c "echo /usr/local/lib > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/usr-local-lib.conf"
sudo ldconfig
cd

That is the solution I found here. It worked for me.

Re: Cardreader ACR 1222U and libnfc

Hi and thank you for this solve of your problem.

I try to use rc4 version and use this script, but I the main problem persists.
I turned back to rc7 version.

The main problem now is the 80100016 error.

nfc-list
nfc-list uses libnfc 1.7.0-rc7

libnfc.org/community/topic/479/acr122ut-and-nfcconnect/
libnfc.org/community/topic/262/

In my case the card on the top of the cardreader and pcsc scan can see it, but lib nfc write error.

Perhaps there is a code has the ACR122U reader check and need to make any changes or even to connect a new type of reader (ACR1222 U). I kindly request to respond to people involved in the development of drivers.

Hi,
I have exactly the same problem.
Even the output matches.

For the record, I am on Ubuntu 12.04.4  64 bits
Using Libnfc-1.7.0
Cardreader is the infamous acr122U-A9.

If needed, I can provide the output of the commands.

Any one stumbled on a solution???

Re: Cardreader ACR 1222U and libnfc

Which driver are you using?
libnfc.driver.acr122_pcsc or libnfc.driver.acr122_usb?
Nowadays I think the usb version is more stable, use it if possible.
From the error of the previous person, it sounds like he was using pcsc but couldn't connect pcsc daemon.
If you want to use the pcsc version, can you check you can talk to the pcsc daemon by executing "pcsc_scan" ?

Re: Cardreader ACR 1222U and libnfc

Hi yobibe,

I did the pcsc_scan,
Initially I get this:

If you want I can compile nfc again, and then using acr122_usb.

Better to open a new field.
