Bring-up NFC06A1 on NUCLEO-F446RE

Hello Community,

I am new in the topic of nfc and programming of nucleo boards.

So, the questions can seem to be very stubid ;)

For a project I try to bring up a X-Nucleo-NFC06A1 on top of a Nucleo -F446RE.

On web (ST,...) I found code examples for different nucleo boards.

If I import the supported examplary projects into the Cube IDE, everything works quite well...but with the wrong Nucleo board.

I can't find any guidline to bring up the NFC extension board with the F446RE.

And also the NFC06A1 cannot be imported via Devcie config Tool (software packets).

So my (stupid) questions:

  • Is there a guidline / video / ... available which describes the steps to port the existing examples to the f446re
  • What files of the Middleware/Driver should be included to get the NFC06A1 running in from a default F446RE project
  • How should the f446re be configured (SPI,...)

Thanks for every helpfull comment,

Sebastian

    Hi Sebastian,

    there is no specific linker option or lib/libpathc/etc.. Make sure rfal_nfc.c is compiled and that rfal_nfc.o is in the list of objects being linked by the linker.

    Hi Sebastian and welcome to ST community.

    First of all, I would recommend to use the ST25 Embedded NFC library that is the most up to date package. This package is build on top of NUCLEO-L476RG but it can be ported on other Nucleo board such as the NUCLEO-F446RE. This has to be done "half" manually.

    I would suggest you use STM32CubeMX to configure the SPI and the various GPIOs on your NUCLEO-F446RE:

    Then you just need to copy the /* USER */ parts of the main.c (and add st25r3916Isr() in EXTI0_IRQHandler) and update the platform.h with the pin mapping

    Last step

    • add the various RFAL files in your project
    • update the main.c to add the calls to demoIni and demoCycle
    • update the include path and the defines (add USE_LOGGER and ST25R3916) in the compiler options

    I've attached the NUCLEO-L476RG ioc file (STM32CubeMX) for reference.

    Hello Brian,

    thanks for your answer.

    I followed your instructions to port one of the basic examples to the F446RE.

    It works up to the point, that some "undefined reference to" errors occur.

    I already checked the forum to solve the problem, but without success.

    It seems to be a linker problem...but to which library path i have to link?

    The project structure is

    Do you have any further information which helps to get the system running?

    Hi Sebastian,

    the mentioned functions are defined in rfal_nfc.c. Should be under the last directory of the shown "Middlewares".
