1 General description

The Pegoda MFRD710 reader is a reference design and evaluation reader for secure

applications based on MIFARE and NTAG products. The MFEV710 evaluation kit is

built around proven, well-established MIFARE products and a powerful Arm Cortex-M3

processors.

The MFEV710 design in kit includes the MFRD710 contactless smartcard reader,

a design based on the MFRC523 contactless reader IC. The kit supports the entire

MIFARE and NTAG product portfolio: MIFARE Classic, MIFARE DESFire, MIFARE Plus,

and MIFARE Ultralight C, NTAG, including SAM AV2 (in x- and non-x modes). The kit

also offers full support of RFIDDiscover, with a reader library for all the MIFARE and

NTAG products.

It uses an open software concept and PC-based tools. The software code and hardware

architecture are reusable, and each kit includes a sample SAM-based, secure reader

architecture that implements multiple protocols. For added flexibility in development,

the flash-based microcontroller supports custom application development based on

Pegoda hardware. The microcontroller is open for customer code implementations, and

the design’s hardware interfaces are open for customer extensions.

The kit includes native support for USB. An optional hardware extension board,

available on request, provides additional support for RS232, RS485, and Ethernet.

The extension board also has a JTAG interface, for debugging functionality directly on

the microcontroller, and is accompanied by a free embedded toolchain for firmware

customization.

The GUI supplied with each kit uses the familiar Windows look and feel and offers a

range of features, including history, log, timing profile management, key management

and show cards.

Minimum system requirements: The minimum system requirements for running either

evaluation kit are as follows: Intel Pentium 166 MHz or equivalent, 32 Mbytes RAM, 20

Mbytes free hard disk space, USB support, and Windows 7 in 32- or 64-bit version.

7 Functional description

7.1 Content

The kit includes the following items:

•MFRD710, Pegoda contactless smartcard reader, based on MFRC523 contactless

reader.

•1 USB cable

•3 MIFARE product sample cards

•Quick startup instructions with links to documentation and software

The following paragraphs describe the Hardware and Software Architecture related to the

MFRD710.

7.2 Hardware architecture CLRD710

The reader CLRD710 is a contactless Reader/Writer compliant to the ISO/IEC 14443

standard and is able to handle contactless data rates of 106 kBit, 212 kBit, 424 kBit and

848 kBit.

It is based on NXP reader-IC MFRC523, see [1]; which is a highly integrated reader

IC solution for contactless communication purposes at 13.56 MHz. The MFRC523

is connected to an LPC1768 μController that executes the firmware. The LPC1768

implements flash memory and allow downloading and debug the firmware with a JTAG

interface.

The CLRD710 implements an external amplifier driven by the MFRC523 which is

connected to the antenna to achieve an optimum reader/writer performance for

contactless applications.

The MIFARE SAM AV2 module, see [2]; can be used for key storage and enhanced

crypto operation to increase the security level.

The reader provides several communication interfaces on board such as: USB, RS232,

RS485 (RS422), Ethernet (via LPC_ extension board) and JTAG (a JTAG IEEE 1149.1

compliant interface for debugging).

The Hardware Design is described in more detail in [4].

7.3 Software architecture

The software of the CLRD710 consist of 3 components.

•CLRD710 firmware based on an Arm CortexM3 implementation as well as the driver

•Reader library

•Graphical User Interface RFIDDiscover

7.3.1 Firmware and driver

The reader firmware can perform contact and contactless communication.

The contact part of the reader firmware is used to communicate with a SAM, e.g. the

MIFARE SAM AV2, see [2]. The contactless part performs the polling and activation

sequence according to PC/SC part 2, ISO/IEC 14443-3 and 14443-4 standards.

NXP Semiconductors MFEV710

Pegoda EV710

Product short data sheet Rev. 3.1 — 15 January 2019

COMPANY PUBLIC 202631 8 / 18

The polling and activation sequence can be turned off and on with the use of escape

(PC/SC part 3) commands. The polling and activation sequence is automatically disabled

if escape commands are executed that would interfere with the normal operations. The

firmware also interprets the ADPUs for MIFARE Classic which are defined in PC/SC part

The main modes of operation are being set by DIP switches which are located on

the reader. Some configuration parameters can be set with the escape commands.

The reader will store them in non-violate memory. The user will be able to reset the

configuration back to default state.

The firmware constructs the product name – which is returned by USB descriptor – to

easily identify the reader/SAM configuration. Depending on the DIP switches, there are

three possible configurations:

•No SAM (Pegoda N)

•SAM in X-Mode (Pegoda X)

•SAM in S-Mode (Pegoda S)

The user is able to flash the board with customized or original firmware with three

methods:

•Over USB (IAP)

•Over serial port (ISP)

•Over JTAG with the use of an external program

For more information, please refer to [6]. The implementation of the driver is described in

[7].

7.3.2 NXP Reader Library

The Reader Library a layered software library that contains all components to operate

MIFARE and NTAG products as well as a MIFARE SAM AV2 using a flexible API. The

desired functionality can be selected by the user and compiled dependent on application

requirements. On the CLRD710, the Reader library is implemented to be executed on the

Host PC.

The NXP reader library is encapsulated into Layers and Components written in ANSI C.

The library structure provides a modular way of programming and setting up the reader

interface.

For easy portability, the reader library consists of 4 layers:

•BAL (Bus Abstraction Layer)

•HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer)

•PAL (Protocol Abstraction Layer)

•AL (Application Layer)

The reader library requires a dedicated build for a usage of the CLRD710 functionality in

No -SAM, SAM "X-mode" or SAM "Direct-mode".

Building the software stack for a specific reader mode requires therefore different

software models to be generated. The three types of operating modes within the PC/SC

mode are:

•No SAM mode

The most important aspect of this mode is performing activation and polling sequence

for ISO 14443 A type cards as defined in PC/SC part 3. Selected cards are put in slot

NXP Semiconductors MFEV710

manager and notification is sent to PC/SC driver. There can be only one ISO 14443-3

card or multiple (maximum 14) ISO 14443-4 cards in the field.

•SAM in non X-mode

The most important aspect of this mode is performing activation and polling sequence

for ISO 14443 A type cards as defined in PC/SC part 3. Selected cards are put in slot

manager and notification is sent to PC/SC driver. There can be only one ISO 14443-3

card or multiple (maximum 14) ISO 14443-4 cards in the field.

•SAM in X-mode

In this mode communication is only through SAM (slot 0). Only limited number of

proprietary commands can be executed

There are two versions of the NXP reader library. The publicly available version can be

obtained from the MFEV710 documentation pages on nxp.com. It contains all NTAG

products and all MIFARE products besides MIFARE DESFire, MIFARE Plus and the

MIFARE SAM. The full version of the NXP reader library is available from the NXP

DocStore, refer to [9]. An application note, see [3], provides an overview how to create

your own application as a project within the NXP reader library.

7.3.3 RFIDDiscover

RFIDDiscover is the Graphical User Interface of the CLRD710 software package. It

supports easy and fast application development for ISO/IEC 14443 type NXP products

by providing multiple views to the content and protocols of the cards. There are two

versions of RFIDDiscover. The publicly available version can be obtained from the

MFEV710 documentation pages on nxp.com. It contains all NTAG products and all

MIFARE products besides MIFARE DESFire, MIFARE Plus and the MIFARE SAM.

The full version is supplied from DocStore, refer to [8]. A very first guideline to install all

necessary parts and do the first steps with this Graphical User Interface is given in [5].

7.4 Certification

The CLRD710 went successfully through the following certification processes:

•EMC, certification to comply with EN 301 489-1 V1.6.1 (2005-09); EN 301 489-3

V1.4.1(2002-08); IEC 60950-1:2005; EN 60950-1:2006

•FCC, certification to comply with FCC Part 15, Subpart C

•MIFARE terminal certification to comply with Test plan for MIFARE Air-Interface
