Near field communication (NFC) is a standard for short range communication. NFC devices can act as listener devices that don’t require a power source for operation. These are called NFC tags. There are multiple tag types - the most wide-spread one being type 2 tags.

In the scope of a group project at TU Dresden we have implemented a working NFC Type 2 Tag emulator that is based on an NFC-A driver provided by Nordic Semiconductors for the NRFX board family. Part of the effort was also the creation of an NDEF library and a Type 2 Tag library. The emulator makes use of them but they can potentially be used for other NFC related applications.
