This BoosterPack allows the software application developer to get familiar with the functionalities of the TRF7970A multi-protocol, fully-integrated, 13.56MHz RFID/NFC IC on their Texas Instruments embedded microcontroller platform of choice without having to worry about developing the RF section. The NFCLink library is an industry-proven modular firmware/software solution that provides a programming interface for TIs family of TRF79XX NFC devices supporting the hardware level up through the host operating system via an API. NFCLink is a library of NFC and HF RFID firmware using the NCI protocol to communicate with a host OS or MPU. NFCLink currently supports MSP430 5XX and 6XX series devices. Visit the TI website for more details: www.ti.com/tool/nfclink This document provides direction for TRF79XX users implementing a 13.56MHz RFID reader solution using the TRF79XX IC connected to a Texas Instruments embedded microcontroller or microprocessor development platform. Examples of such development platforms are the MSP-EXP430G2 LaunchPad and the MSP-EXP430F5529LP LaunchPad. LaunchPads from Texas Instruments are easy-to-use flash programming and debugging tools for the MSP430, C2000, TIVA, etc. line of microcontrollers. They feature everything you need to start developing on a Texas Instruments microcontroller device. They have on-board emulation for programming and debugging, on-board button switches and LEDs and BoosterPack-compatible pinouts to support a wide range of plug-in modules like the DLP-7970ABP. Rev 1.1 (September 2013) 1 2013 DLP Design, Inc. Free software development tools are also available, such as TIs Eclipse-based Code Composer Studio. Open-source development is also available thanks to community-driven projects such as the MSPGCC compiler or Energia, a branch of the popular Wiring framework. 2.0 SCOPE This document describes the DLP-7970ABP module for evaluation and development purposes in conjunction with Texas Instruments embedded development platforms. This manual does not cover the in-depth details of the TRF79XX reader IC family as those details are documented in the datasheets for those parts along with application notes that can be found on the product pages (see the hyperlinks in Section 3). 3.0 REFERENCES DLP-RFID2: www.dlpdesign.com TRF7970A product page:
