ACR122u card-emulation mode send PN532 commands


I just read this answer about how to put my ACR122U in card-emulation mode. I do understand the purpose but how do you need to send the commands to the ACR122u.

As far as I know FF000000 means:

  • FF [Class]
  • 00 [INS]
  • 00 [P1]
  • 00 [P2]

I just can't figure out how I can send the actual PN532 command for example:

  • FF000000 08 D406 6305 630D 6338
  • FF000000 11 D408 6302 80 6303 80 6305 xx 630D yy 6338 zz

I have come this far:

TerminalFactory factory = TerminalFactory.getDefault();
List<CardTerminal> terminals;

try {
    terminals = factory.terminals().list();

    CardTerminal terminal   = terminals.get(0);
    Card card               = terminal.connect("*");
    CardChannel channel     = card.getBasicChannel();
    byte[] command          = {???};
    CommandAPDU command1    = new CommandAPDU(0xFF,0x00,0x00,0x00, command);
    ResponseAPDU response1  = channel.transmit(command1);
    System.out.println(bytesToHex(response1.getBytes()));

} catch (CardException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
}

I appreciate your help!

Many thanks in advance!!


Solution

  • Assuming 08 D406 6305 630D 6338 means

    • 08 [Lc]
    • D406 6305 630D 6338 [data]

    It would look like this:

    byte[] command = new byte[8] { (byte) 0xD4, 0x06, 0x63, 0x05, 0x63, 0x0D, 0x63, 0x38 };
    

    You can leave out the the 8 since javac will count the bytes for you.
