Naively tried shoehorning it in there trying all available nfc/clf drivers to no avail. All had this same output but with a different "loading xxx driver" line.
$ python -m nfc -v -v -v
This is the 1.0.4 version of nfcpy run in Python 3.10.9
on Linux-6.1.1-arch1-1-x86_64-with-glibc2.36
I'm now searching your system for contactless devices

I'm not trying serial devices because you haven't told me
-- add the option '--search-tty' to have me looking
-- but beware that this may break other serial devs
Sorry, but I couldn't find any contactless device
Is it a real Sony ? Because I have one with the same IDs but it's a Chinese one from Aliexpress.
Mine works only with some software for Windows, NFC 122 I think it's called. I opened it up as it only has 4 screws under the rubber feet. Inside there's a FM17550 chip. This is a Chinese NFC chip. There's also a controller, MT006C6PB which is again some Chinese chip. It's seen in Linux but I could not get it to work. Didn't try much though
Is a chinese one: searching for same info in https://github.com/nfc-tools/libnfc/issues/693
@mcirsta thanks for info, I don't need to open case at least.
chip is documented here:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002458504365.html
1.1 Product introduction
FM17550 is a highly integrated non-contact communication chip that works at 13.56MHz and supports the following 4 different working modes.
Supports reader mode that complies with ISO/IEC 14443 TypeA protocol and Felica protocol
Support the reader mode conforming to ISO/IEC 14443 TypeB
Supports card simulation working mode that conforms to ISO/IEC 14443A protocol and Felica protocol
Support NFC working mode that complies with NFCIP-1 protocol
At the same time, it provides a low-power external card detection function, which is convenient for battery-powered, low-power operation, and requires real-time processing of external card reader devices that enter the radio frequency field at any time.
FM17550 has the characteristics of low voltage, low power consumption, strong drive capability, multi-interface support, and multi-protocol support. It is suitable for low-power, low-voltage, low-cost non-contact reader applications and NFC devices compatible with the NFC protocol.
1.2 Product features
Support ISO/IEC 14443 TypeA reader mode
Support ISO/IEC 14443 TypeB reader mode
Reader mode supports M1 encryption
Support ISO/IEC 14443, FeliCa card simulation working mode
ISO14443 TYPEA supports communication rate 106kbps, 212kbps, 424kbps, 848kbps

Wide voltage working range 2.2V~3.6V
The RF transmission driver is powered by an independent power supply, up to 5.5V
Built-in CRC coprocessor
Programmable I/O pins
But not sure how to use that info to read using nfcpy
I guess if libnfc issue is closed, there's no match we can do here.
It's a clone, with no documentation available.
Using the provided nfc 122 app is the only way to use It.
Probably capturing USB communication with wireshark we might get some progress, but I don't know were to read about that, so I suggest to close this issue too
Thanks for the update :+1: sadly that would be the only way: sniffing packets and reverse-engineer the chip's protocol :disappointed:
