9.14 Type A PICC
This paragraph explains in which ways the PN544 can behave like a Type A card.
9.14.1 Type A PICC over NFC WI (SMX as a Type A card)
The Type A card emulation can be located in the secure element connected to PN544
over NFC WI link.
Refer to paragraph NFC WI.
9.14.2 Type A PICC over SWP (UICC as a Type A card)
The Type A card emulation can be located in the UICC connected to PN544 over SWP
link.
Refer to paragraph SWP.
9.14.3 Type A PICC over host link (I2C, SPI, HSU) (host as a Type A card)
The Type A card emulation can be located in the host connected to PN544 over I2C, SPI
or HSU link.
The host is not allowed to transmit a UID. The UID in that case is a single size UID,
whose first byte is 0x08 and the other three bytes are randomly generated by the PN544.
9.14.4 Multiple Type A PICC
PN544 cannot emulate two type A cards at the same time.
It is not possible to emulate at the same time a Type A card in the UICC and in the host.
(The Create Pipe, on an already in use card RF gate, will return an error). The host
decides to allow or not the UICC to emulate a Type A card. If it allows the UICC emulate
a Type A card, then it cannot itself emulate a Type A card.
It is not possible to emulate at the same time a Type A card in the UICC or host and in
the SmartMX.
However the host can decide to dynamically enable/disable each Secure Element.
