Software Description
• X-LINUX-NFC5 is a software expansion package
developed to demonstrate RFAL (Radio Frequency
Abstraction Layer) library for NFC based applications on
STM32MP157C-DK2 using ST25R3911B NFC device
• UID and NFC tag type is displayed on screen when the
tag is paced in range of X-NUCLEO-NFC05A1 board
antenna.
• Demo application detect NFC Tag types such as NFC-A,
NFC-B, NFC-V and other types supported by RFALlibrary
• The package is easy to port across different Linux based
platforms with compatible hardware interface.

Software requirements
• Boot the Discovery Kit with Starter Package. Please refer
to instructions at wiki page Getting Started with
STM32MP157C-DK2 baord
• Download the X-LINUX-NFC5 software package from
www.st.com (Link)
• Follow instructions on wiki page to copy the pre-built
binaries and device tree blob to correct locations (or build
using Developer Package and source code of application),
restart the Discovery Kit and run Demo application.
Wiki page link : X-NUCLEO NFC05A1 expansion board
• Remote terminal applications such as Tera-Term or
Minicom can be used to access the board or transfer files.

• Boot the STM32MP157C-DK2 board (Discovery Kit) with Starter Package. Please refer to instructions at this wiki page link.
• Download the X-LINUX-NFC5 software package from the www.st.com (Link)
• Connect to Discovery Kit via USB-VCOM port using any appropriate tool [Baud 115200]. To find the COM port number,
check device manager for enumeration similar to below snapshot. Refer slide #10 to know steps for transferring file from
development machine to Discovery Kit using Tera-Term.
• Transfer the below files to respective locations on board using Tera-Term (or any alternate method) –

• Open terminal on Discovery Kit and run below commands, so that platform configuration is updated as per new device tree
blob –
• After reboot, connect to the Discovery Kit again and open terminal. Execute below commands to RUN the application –

Board $> ./nfc_poller_st25r3911
Board $> /sbin/depmod –a
Board $> sync
Board $> reboot

• Connect the Discovery Kit to the Internet / Intranet via LAN or Wi-Fi and use ssh commands for accessing the board or scp
command for transferring files. Any alternate method can be used for file transfer / access. For example, below steps need
to be executed on TERA-TERM :
• Connect the Discovery Kit to your PC via USB type-A to type-micro B cable.
• Check the Virtual COM port number visible in the device manager. For example, in below snapshot, the COM port
number is 14.
• Open Tera-Term on your PC and select the COM port (as found in step 3 above). The baud rate should be 115200 baud.
The virtual terminal (remote access) will appear.
• To transfer a file from host PC to Discovery Kit, click on File menu on top left corner of the Tera-Tem window and go to
File>>Transfer>>ZMODEM>>Send. Select the desired file for sending it to the /usr location of Discovery Kit. Below
