Topic: send NDEF message to android using libnfc and llcp

Hi,
I am trying to communicate nfc module with Android mobile.
I used itead nfc module interface with rasberry pi.
And using libnfc1.7.1 and libllcp for communicate with mobile.

After run libllcp client example,
$ LIBNFC_LOG_LEVEL=3 ./examples/snep-client/snep-client
I get this error

"error libnfc.driver.pn532_spi Unable to wait for SPI data. (RX)
libllcp.mac.link Could not send 2 bytes"

Log:=

Questions:
I used pn532(itead nfc) module to communicate with android 4.3 (samsung S3).
Is there any problem in libnfc which cause error?
Is 1.7.1 libnfc version is right to use with libllcp library and snep protocol to send my NDEF massage to android?

Please comment your view about this error log, May it help me to solve error.

Thank you

Hi,

Maybe you could try to increase timeout value.

Re: send NDEF message to android using libnfc and llcp

Why do we need libllcp?

libnfc-1.7.1 has nfc-dep-initiator and nfc-dep-target, how to use it? Can we send message or data from pn532 attached to some controller (controller) to another pn532 (inside android phone) ? Do we have to do some coding first inside the android? or is there any app that is already provided for p2p DEP for android and we can use it with libnfc?

To have the LLCP layer protocol smile Please read LLCP specifications.

They are demo apps, not production ones. It provides a low-level test applications.

Inside an Android phone, you already have the LLCP layer.

LLCP specifications offer a way to be compliant with other NFC devices using P2P mode.

Re: send NDEF message to android using libnfc and llcp

I am sorry I still don't get it about this LLCP. By using pn532 user manual document, I can send NDEF message (or any data in HEX) into every sector address that I want on an NFC Mifare Classic 4K card. I just need to send some commands to pn532, put the card near pn532 and I can write or read  the card. Now, I want to send a data (let's say a simple NDEF message) from pn532 (connected to a linux computer) and I want my Android Smart Phone (Nexus S) receive my data. How can I do that? Do I need to create a custom application on my Android? Do I need to download some application on Android? Do I need to install libllcp on my linux computer? I have followed some command to create p2p connection to other pn532. My Android reacted to the other pn532 but I don't know how to send a data between the two of them. Can you help me? or Can you give me a link or a book or a notes that shows how to do it?
