Dynamic NFC tag –Type V expansion software
Software Overview 4
X-CUBE-NFC2 Software Description
•The software runs on the STM32 microcontroller
and includes drivers for controlling an RFID/NFC
Type V tag. The expansion is built on
STM32Cube software technology to ease
portability across different STM32
microcontrollers.
•The software comes with sample
implementations of drivers running on the X-
NUCLEO-NFC02A1 plugged on NUCLEO-
F401RE or NUCLEO-L053R8.
Key features
•Cube driver to operate M24LR04E-R
•Complete middleware to build applications using
NDEF message for type V tags.
•Easy portability across different MCU families
thanks to the STM32Cube
•Sample applications that the developer can use
to start experimenting with the code
•Free user-friendly license terms
