Does Taplinx support the ACR1252 USB reader?

[Peter Stamfest]

The subject says it all: Does Taplinx support the ACR1252 USB reader?

After downloading Taplinx I started with the ntagjavasampleapp on linux. The app does see the reader but it does not support it.
However, using this reader is mandatory in my project with the goal to use Desfire v2.

The reader works wonderfully with C and python based software with Mifare1k cards but I would like to upgrade to a more secure environment.

So: How to I get this working? Is there some additional Java-Middleware required? Do I have to write some kind of driver? Is it just the demo-application that does not support that NFC reader?

It doesn't support.

Well. This does - technically - answer the question.

Follow-up: Why not? Will it? How would one add support?

Maybe it will be fixed somehow?

The ACR1252U USB NFC Reader III is an NFC Forum-certified PC-linked reader, developed based on 13.56Mhz contactless technology. It has a SAM (Secure Access Module) slot which can be used together with a SAM card for key diversification and mutual authentication, providing high-level security in contactless transactions. Post-deployment firmware upgrade is also supported, eliminating the need for additional hardware modification.

ACR1252U is capable of the three modes of NFC, namely: card reader/writer, card emulation and peer-to-peer communication. It supports ISO 14443 Type A and B cards, MIFARE®, FeliCa, and ISO 18092–compliant NFC tags. It also supports other NFC devices with an access speed of up to 424 Kbps and proximity operating distance of up to 50mm (depending on tag type used).

Compliant with both CCID and PC/SC, this plug-and-play USB NFC device allows interoperability with different devices and applications. It is thus ideal for unconventional marketing and advertising applications like smart posters.

The ACR1252U comes with an optional stand to hold the smart card reader at an optimal angle, so that users can tap contactless cards or NFC-enabled devices onto the ACR1252U with ease.

You will have to do the test directly to be sure.
