SDK is suited for MIFARE, ICODE and NTAG products
Designed to provide access to all hardware features on Java level, NXP Semiconductors has introduced the MIFARE SDK (Software Development Kit) for MIFARE, ICODE and NTAG products. The development kit enables Android apps to be created for MIFARE, ICODE and NTAG more easily than ever before.
Designed for building reliable, interoperable and scalable applications for smartphones, Android app developers can utilise the MIFARE SDK to significantly reduction in development time. This allows them to focus on designing creative apps for applications including access management, closed loop micropayment, campus cards and loyalty programs. These apps can then be easily uploaded to the Google Play store. The MIFARE SDK is initially available as a free version with an advanced version to follow.
The development package contains complete a sample app project including source code. This is suited as a starting point for new developments but can also be immediately deployed to smart phones. Developers can create a single application that will work on a range of MIFARE cards with the universal API for common functions within MIFARE. An easy starting guide explaining how to setup the development environment and how to import our library is also included, as well as comprehensive Java documentation.
The upcoming advanced version will include an extended set of commands for experienced developers, enabling access to the extensive product features from a MIFARE DESFire, MIFARE PLUS or ICODE on Java level. MIFARE SAM AV2 support securely stores keys in a SAM soldered in a Bluetooth or USB reader connected with the smart phone.
