libnfc is a library which allows userspace application access to NFC devices.
The official web site is:
http://www.libnfc.org/
The official forum site is:
http://www.libnfc.org/community/
The official development site is:
http://libnfc.googlecode.com/
Installation
============
See the file 'INSTALL'
How to report bugs
==================
To report a bug, visit http://code.google.com/p/libnfc/issues/list and fill
out a bug report form.
If you have questions, remarks, we encourage you to post this in the developers
community:
http://www.libnfc.org/community
Please make sure to include:
* The version of libnfc
* Information about your system. For instance:
- What operating system and version
- For Linux, what version of the C library
And anything else you think is relevant.
* How to reproduce the bug.
Please include a short test program that exhibits the behavior.
As a last resort, you can also provide a pointer to a larger piece
of software that can be downloaded.
* If the bug was a crash, the exact text that was printed out
when the crash occured.
* Further information such as stack traces may be useful, but
is not necessary.
Patches
=======
Patches can be sent to posted to http://code.google.com/p/libnfc/issues/list or
can be sent directly to libnfc's developers: http://www.libnfc.org/contact
If the patch fixes a bug, it is usually a good idea to include
all the information described in "How to Report Bugs".
Building
========
It should be as simple as running these two commands:
./configure
make
Troubleshooting
===============
Touchatag/ACR122:
-----------------
If your Touchatag or ACR122 device fails being detected by PCSC-lite daemon
(pcsc_scan doesn't see anything) then try removing the bogus firmware detection
of libccid: edit /etc/libccid_Info.plist and locate "<key>ifdDriverOptions</key>",
turn "<string>0x0000</string>" value into 0x0004 to allow bogus devices and
restart pcscd daemon.
ACR122:
-------
Using an ACR122 device with libnfc and without tag (e.g. to use NFCIP modes or
card emulation) needs yet another PCSC-lite tweak:
You need to allow usage of CCID Exchange command.
To do this, edit /etc/libccid_Info.plist and locate "<key>ifdDriverOptions</key>",
turn "<string>0x0000</string>" value into 0x0001 to allow CCID exchange or
0x0005 to allow CCID exchange and bogus devices (cf previous remark) and
restart pcscd daemon.
SCL3711:
--------
Libnfc cannot be used concurrently with the PCSC proprietary driver of SCL3711.
Two possible solutions:
* Either you don't install SCL3711 driver at all
* Or you stop the PCSC daemon when you want to use libnfc-based tools
