questions on MIFARE4MOBILE

[Libin Zhang]

I have some questions on NFC mobile ticketing for Android phone and need your helps. The smartcard we use is Mifare DESFire.

1. How do we know that the phone is M4M enabled? such as for Samsung Galaxy S5 (with NXP PN547) or Nexus 6p (with NXP PN548)?

2. For a phone that not M4M enabled, what is the process of installing the M4M implementation (Java Card Applet) for development purpose? I read that the SE of PN544 is also configured to emulate a Mifare classic 4K card. But we want the phone to emulate Mifare DESFire.

Thanks a lot.

Best Regards,
Libin

Hi Libin,

Any phone with NXP PN547/PN548 is able to manage several MIFARE virtual cards (Classic and DESFire EV1). The point here is that you cannot use it out-of-box. The access to the SE is not allowed with a default Android OS. To use the SE, you have modify the Android Sources and flash your phone with this software. This requires always a “rooting” of your device.

Kind regards,
The MIFARE Team

As moderator as answered your question, all phones having NXP Pn547/48 can manage memory and virtual cards. By default, andorid phones cannot access SE unless you can get it rooted by someone. I have done it before for my assignment writing help project but i strongly recommend other to not do it but if they want to proceed with it, proceed with precaution.

Dear all,
I have a question related to PN548 chips.

According to techinisights, the Huawei Mate 10 Pro used a NXP PN548 chips,
According to this table, the unit is not compatible with mifare classic.
Is this something wrong with the second table that Mate10 pro should be mifare-classic compatible?


also the Huawei P20 pro is said to come with a NXP 55102 PN548 NFC controller by iFixit ,
but it is too listed on that table as incompatible with mifare-classic.
Thanks
