X-CUBE-NFC2 Software Description

• The software runs on the STM32 microcontroller

and includes drivers for controlling an RFID/NFC
Type V tag. The expansion is built on
STM32Cube software technology to ease
portability across different STM32
microcontrollers.

• The software comes with sample

implementations of drivers running on the X-

NUCLEO-NFC02A1 plugged on NUCLEO-

F401RE or NUCLEO-L053R8.

Key features

• Cube driver to operate M24LR04E-R

• Complete middleware to build applications using

NDEF message for type V tags.

• Easy portability across different MCU families

thanks to the STM32Cube

• Sample applications that the developer can use

to start experimenting with the code

• Free user-friendly license terms
