6.2.2 Communicating with individual readers
The individual readers inside the NFC module are identified by unique slot IDs. All CCID packets
should have a CCID header, which has a byte field called
bSlot
. This field specifies the slot ID of
the reader with which the application wishes to communicate.
The slot ID value uniquely identifies the reader (within NFC module) to which the CCID packet is
sent, and identifies the reader which is sending the response back to the application.
Table 12 shows the Slot ID values and their mapping to the readers.

Management
The Management Interface is used to set the operating and debug parameters of the NFC module.
Note: Do not send commands to a reader that is not enabled.
6.2.3 Communication format
The data is sent to and from the NFC module in 64-byte chunks. Figure 10 shows how the NFC
module transfers a 256-byte CCID packet.
