What NFC readers are supported?

[apsigma]

Is ACR122u the only supported NFC reader? The docs don't mention anything about supported devices, would be good.

I have a ACR1255u-j1 that works on my Windows machine, but I have not been able to get it to work on Ubuntu 20.4 with libnfc, it says it cannot find the device. Is this expected?

>> nfc-list
nfc-list uses libnfc 1.8.0
No NFC device found.

i doubt this reader will work. If i understood it correctly, libnfc needs the reader hardware to support direct transmit. This is not the case for my ACR1252, so i have to use PC/SC.

Recently experimented with a DL533N CS - LibNFC NFC Reader from Digital Logic and using nfcpy (Python module using LibNFC) my code worked without modifications; in my configuration (using a Raspberry Pi) I had to allow access to the new USB device and changed the hint to find it: by replacing the Vendor ID and Product ID parts in the "usb:vid:pid" hint. However, initially I just changed "usb:vid:pid" to "usb" so that I could even swap and test the (old) AC122U and the (new) DL533N reader with my software. Found no issues so far, but YMMV.

Hi, has anyone found a solution for writing to ACR1255U-J1 ? In my case it does not even get found, just like for @apsigma My aim ti so use it to write cards. Is it possible with libnfc, or what tools should I use on linux? Thanks

Have a look to README file. AFAICR, supported devices are listed.
