1. Introduction
This document gives a description on how to get started with the OM5578 PN7150 NFC-
Controller SBC Kit on platform featuring Arduino compatible header. This document
provides a step by step guide to the installation procedure of the hardware and the
software. Finally it shows PN7150 NFC Controller functionalities through demonstration
application.
1.1 OM5578/PN7150ARD demo kit
OM5578/PN7150ARD kit is a high performance fully NFC compliant expansion board
compatible with Arduino Compatible Interface platforms (refer to [1] for more details). It
meets compliance with Reader mode, P2P mode and Card emulation mode standards.
The board features an integrated high performance RF antenna to insure high
interoperability level with NFC devices.
The demo kit is comprised of a PN7150 NFC Controller Board, a dedicated interface
board, and a NFC Sample Card.

The demo kit is fully described in UM10935 document [8].
1.2 Linux driver support
PN7150 NFC Controller is supported under GNU/Linux system using the NXP Linux
libnfc-nci software stack delivered through public GitHub repository
www.nxp.com/redirect/github.com/NXPNFCLinux/linux_libnfc-nci#
to AN11697 [5]).
In chapter 2.4 it is described how to run an image with the already integrated driver on
your kit.
