Extended Read Multiple Blocks (Android NfcV)

[DMugg.1]

I need to read multiple blocks of the ST25DV64K-I.

For example 178 Blocks starting from 1D.

UID: E0 02 26 00 A7 3B 33 B6

My command:

22 33 B6 33 3B A7 00 26 02 E0 1D B2

I only get 01:02.

What's wrong with my command?

Hi,

the proper coding of the Extended read Multiple Blocks is:

• request flags: 8 bits
• 33h
• UID( when address_flag = 1): 64 bits
• first block number: 16 bits
• Number of blocks: 16 bits

So, 2 bytes are missing in your command.

Oh right of course so it gets: 22 33 B6 33 3B A7 00 26 02 E0 1D 00 B2 00

The maximum Blocks should be 2047? But I can't read my 178 Blocks.

I now just get the I/O failure...

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

can you share more information about the I/O failure? Android failure or tag failure?

I don't know the physical limits on Android when transceiving NFC data and that may be the cause of this failure. What about sending 6 x Extended Read Multiple blocks (32 blocks)?

You are right...

The limit is 64 as it seems.

65 number of Blocks just get rejected...

Hi

this limit is an Android limit.

ST25DV64K-I accepts up to NumOfBlocks=2047.

Yea that's kinda sad..

So I have to make multiple requests for the same number of blocks...
