how to read ISO15693 mifare tag using windows phone 8

hi.. everyone！
recently i do some study in NFC related application development of windows phone,
I put a tag of ISO15693 closed to Nokia Lumia820,but it doesn't work, and even no any response. I cannot find any library to read or write the tag of ISO15693.
Therefore, i'm in great need of help about the solution of how to read the tag of ISO15693. could you give me some advice of the solution or tell me where can i find the
related imformation? I really appreciate it if you offer me the answer.

thanks in advance.

Hi,

Welcome to the Forum :)

Have you checked our Wiki? There are some articles on NFC. I would recommend giving this one a try and let us know if it worked for you:

Happy Holidays,

hi,joaocardoso
thank you for your reply. I have checked a lots of articles from wiki and microsoft dev center. but litle help for me.
it seems that microsoft doesn't provide the APIs like Android such as the following code


provided for an Android phone to read/write their tag:

NfcV nfcvTag = NfcV.get(ma.getCurrentTag());
byte[] WriteSingleBlockCommand = new byte[]{ (byte) 0x0A, (byte) 0x21, (byte) 0x00, (byte) 0x00, (byte) 0x55, ConfigArray[2], ConfigArray[3], ConfigArray[4] };
.....
byte[] response = nfcvTag.transceive(WriteSingleBlockCommand);
.....

so.. i want to know whether the nokia provide the NFC sensor device driver package or not. i just want to read my mifare 1K - iso15693 tags.

Happy Holidays,

Cheers

Hi Ming,

I have to confess I don't have much experience with NFC. But as far as I can tell, it's my understanding that Windows Phone 8 support's mifare 1k tags but only supports NDEF formatted tags. For more information regarding this, please take a look here: [URL="http://www.developer.nokia.com/Community/Wiki/Understanding_NFC_Data_Exchange_Format_%28NDEF%29_messages"]Understanding NFC Data Exchange Format NDEF messages[/URL] . Not sure about iso15693.

I didn't had a chance to play with NFC yet, but usually as will all hardware related matters, if Windows Phone API does not provides the interface for the purpose you need, you are usually out of luck. This is not directly related to Nokia devices or hardware.

ISO15693 ? Do you mean NXP I-Code ? I test some devices (include phone, tablet and ultrabook) with NCF to read I-Code, only few devices supoort I-Code.
And ..Lumia not support I-Code

One more take on this. Take a look at this library and see if it helps in anyway: [url]https://ndef.codeplex.com/[/url] .

The WinRT only supports NDEF formatted TAGS
All tags must be formatted prior to use... even is formatted but empty.

I've recently bought some TAGS and confirmed all this.

When I say WinRT ... it's because the same is true for Win8 RT devices (I currently have a Asus TF600)
