Programming a tag

To program a tag, use the precompiled Type 2 Tag library.

Complete the following steps:

1. Implement a callback function that handles events from the Type 2 Tag library and register it:

   uint32_t err_code;
   
   /* Callback for NFC events */
   static void nfc_callback(void * context, nfc_t2t_event_t event, const uint8_t * p_data, size_t data_length)
   {
   ...
   }
   
   /* Set up NFC and register application callback for NFC events. */
   err_code = nfc_t2t_setup(nfc_callback, NULL);
   APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

   The NFCT interrupt handler runs at priority level APP_LOW.
   
   
2. Configure the data for the tag. You can provide the data as NDEF message (recommended, see NFC Data Exchange Format) or as a raw TLV structure (advanced usage, see Type 2 Tag data format).
   • Set an NDEF message:

     uint8_t ndef_msg_buf[] = ...; // Buffer with the user NDEF message
     uint32_t len = sizeof(ndef_msg_buf);
     
     /* Set created message as the NFC payload. */
     err_code = nfc_t2t_payload_set(ndef_msg_buf, len);
     APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

   • Alternatively, set a TLV structure:

     uint8_t tlv_buf[] = ...; // Buffer with the user TLV structure
     uint32_t len = sizeof(tlv_buf);
     
     /* Set created TLV structure as the NFC payload. */
     err_code = nfc_t2t_payload_raw_set(tlv_buf, len);
     APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

     
     
     
3. Activate the NFC tag so that it starts sensing and reacts when an NFC field is detected:

   /* Start sensing NFC field. */
   err_code = nfc_t2t_emulation_start();
   APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code)
