Host to Reader:
Preamble: 1 byte equal to 0xBA
Len: 1 byte, indicating the number of bytes from Command to Checksum
Command: 1 byte Command code, see Table 3
Data: Variable length depends on the command type
Checksum: 1 byte XOR of all the bytes from Preamble to Data
Reader to Host:
Preamble: 1 byte equal to 0xBD
Len: 1 byte indicating the number of bytes from Command to Checksum
Command: 1 byte Command code, see Table 3
Status: 1 byte Command status, see Table 4

Mifare Plus SL0 and SL3 can tell differences via ATS(ISO14443-4). Before ATS, they have the same ATQA and
SAK(ISO14443-3). SL032 judges card type only via ISO14443-3 layer for the compatibility.

Attention: According to NXP MifarePlus card document, Commit Perso will make effect
after you have “Write Perso” the Master KEY, Configuration KEY and SWL3 KEY.
If your card is L1 card, after Commit Perso, the card will switch L0 to L1;
If your card is L3 card, after Commit Perso, the card will switch L0 to L3.

5. DIFFERENCES FROM PREVIOUS VERSION
Although we make efforts on the compatibility between the new SL032 V3.0 and the
old SL032, there are still some differences you need to know.
1. New SL032 has the auto-detection function which can close automatically when
there is a DESFire or MifarePlus L0/L2/L3 card coming into the detection range.
By the way, we also offer you the Turn On/Off Auto-detection command.
2. New SL032 supports nearly all cards of NXP Mifare series now and we rebuilt the
card type characters.(Details see to Command Select Mifare Card Description)
3. New SL032 also has PIN OUT function indicating tag auto-detection status like
SL025 and SL031 now.
