nfc-reader (device class)¶
PN53x-based NFC readers — the contactless equivalent of the badgelife class
A device class rather than a single device: the USB contactless readers built on NXP's PN531, PN532 and PN533 controllers, sold under many names — the ACR122U and Touchatag being the ones most people meet first.
Devices in this class¶
None catalogued yet.
Shared setup¶
Install the class packages, join plugdev, then log out and back in — group membership does not apply to an existing session. USB readers are usually found without configuration; a serial reader needs an entry in /etc/nfc/libnfc.conf. nfc-list should report the reader and its firmware.
