2 Introduction
This document describes NTAG 5 NFC Cockpit application allowing to configure NTAG 5
through NFC interface.
The NTAG 5 NFC Cockpit application is a GUI application running on Windows platform,
connected to NFC reader board over USB.
Currently supported NFC reader boards are PNEV7462C, PNEV5180B and CLEV6630B
running specific NFC Cockpit firmware.
Detailed description of the NTAG 5 NFC Cockpit application can be found in chapter
NTAG 5 NFC Cockpit GUI.
In case of issue running the application, one can find debugging information in related
Troubleshooting chapter.

3 Setup
3.1 Hardware setup
NTAG 5 NFC Cockpit application requires one of the following NFC reader boards
connected over USB.
3.1.1 CLEV6630B
CLEV6630B board is CLRC663 plus NFC frontend demo board. To be used with NTAG
5 NFC Cockpit tool, the CLEV6630B board must run NFC Cockpit firmware, this gives
access to CLRC663 plus functionality via virtual COM port (through USB). More details
are given in the board CLEV6630B quick start guide.

3.1.2 PNEV5180B
PNEV5180B board is PN5180 NFC frontend demo board. To be used with NTAG 5 NFC
Cockpit tool, the PNEV5180B board must run NFC Cockpit firmware, this gives access
to PN5180 functionality via virtual COM port (through USB). More details are given in the
board PNEV5180B quick start guide.

UM11207
NTAG 5 NFC Cockpit application
PNEV7462C board is PN7462 NFC controller demo board. To be used with NTAG 5
NFC Cockpit tool, the PNEV7462C board must run NFC Cockpit firmware, this gives
access to PN7462 functionality via virtual COM port (through USB). More details are
given in the board PNEV7462C quick start guide.

3.2 Software setup
Installation of the tool is done running NTAG 5 Cockpit installer which can be
downloaded from NTAG 5 development kit webpage (OM2NTx5332). NTAG 5 Cockpit
installer includes both NTAG 5 NFC Cockpit application and NTAG 5 I2C Cockpit
application (see UM11406 for more details).
The installer creates an NTAG5_Cockpit folder (by default under "C:\nxp\" directory)
containing:
• NTAG 5 NFC Cockpit application executable
• a link to the present document on NXP website
• NXP Infrastructure SLDA licensing terms
• related Software Content Register detailing components license details

• NTAG 5 I2C Cockpit application executable
• USB-I2C_bridge firmware binary for NXP LPC11U37H MCU
• an executable allowing to uninstall the current package
The installer also allows creating related folder containing shortcuts in Windows Start
Menu, as well as NTAG 5 Cockpit application shortcuts on Windows Desktop.
Running the NTAG 5 NFC Cockpit application executable, considering reference setup
depicted in chapter Hardware setup is connected to the computer, shall trigger the
following window to open:

Figure 4. NTAG 5 NFC Cockpit aspect
If not, please refer to the troubleshooting chapter Troubleshooting.
NTAG 5 NFC Cockpit is continuously scanning for NFC detection of NTAG 5, the
presence of the NTAG 5 is then displayed in the related field.
Figure 5. NTAG 5 detection
Obviously, no operation can be done until NTAG 5 has been detected.

4 NTAG 5 NFC Cockpit GUI
The purpose of the current chapter is to describe the NTAG 5 NFC Cockpit tool in details.
4.1 Registers selection
The "Register selection" item allows defining which register bank applies to the "Tabs"
items.
Indeed NTAG 5 registers are split between "Configuration registers" (from 1000h to
109Fh in Configuration memory) and "Session registers" (from 10A0h to 10AFh in
Configuration memory).
Pay attention that "Session registers" settings apply to the current session (apply as soon
as set) while "Configuration registers" settings only apply to the next session (apply after
Power On Reset).

4.2 Tabs
"Tabs" items exposes NTAG 5 registers definition allowing to set and get NTAG 5 IC
configuration. Detailed registers definition is given in NTAG 5 data sheet for reference.
4.2.1 Status
"Status" tab is only valid for "Session registers" since the related registers are only
defined for this memory area.
Figure 7. "Status" tab
STATUS0 and STATUS1 registers writeable bits (not grayed ones) can only be written to
0, clearing the related information.
