How to flash-update µFR Firmware and test the reader

How to flash-update µFR Firmware – µFR reader/writer firmware upgrade & downgrade If your device is a non-wireless µFR reader/writer (Nano, Classic CS, Classic, Advance, XL), all can update its firmware using the flashing software tool available at https://code.d-logic.com/nfc-rfid-reader-sdk/ufr_plus-flasher-oneclick. When you initially run the flashing software on a Windows machine, you may get a pop-up warning as shown below. Make sure you click the Run Anyway button and enable this app. If you haven’t accomplished the step above and are experiencing a problem starting the software tool, you can still enable it in Windows security/Firewall & network protection, as seen below.   Further, use the uFR Plus Flasher and select the most recent firmware version:   Now, find the desired firmware version. Type the firmware ordinal number (the last one recommended) and press Enter. Wait for the software to complete the process. After you hear the reader’s beeper sound, the firmware flashing is completed. Make sure not to interrupt this process until it’s completely done. If it was interrupted for some reason (readers cable unplugged, power went down, etc.), you need to repeat the flashing process until it is successfully accomplished.

When is an RF Booster Upgrade recommended?

The RF Booster upgrade is optional for most of the hardware of the Digital Logic product line. Its purpose is to power up the reader's RF field...

µFR Reader Writer on macOS – FTDI drivers and communication permissions tips

µFR Reader Writer on macOS FTDI drivers and communication permissions tips *NOTICE: Applicable only to old macOS versions and legacy µFR devices. Do not use for the µFR Zero series and recent macOS releases! macOS has a bit different structure than Linux so communication with the reader cannot be enabled with a simple script available for Linux users. Enabling the communication between the software and the USB-connected reader varies depending on the macOS version. The OS versions from Mavericks (version 10.9) and above already have the AppleUSBFTDI driver. The interface is matched to the FTDI kext, which in turn creates a BSD serial port for use at the application layer. The application opens the serial port to communicate with the hardware. On the other hand, the USB-connected µFR devices implement user client drivers to communicate directly with the device from the user space (FTDI D2XX Driver). Therefore, the presence of the AppleUSBFTDI kext might affect communication with the software. Software applications may fail to open a connection with the hardware because IOKit already has matched the AppleUSBFTDI driver to the device. The solution in this instance is to unload the AppleUSBFTDI drivers before installing the FTDI D2XX. You may find...

iOS support for µFR Series hardware

For iOS, we provide the µFR Series hardware library for iOS, the APIs, and other documentation related to hardware, as well as all the necessary technical support for your project development.   As for the development tools and executable software solutions, the current iOS compliant SDK is available at our GitLab repository and the two apps at App Store.  The SDK is compliant with all the µFR Series devices, while one of two available iOS apps is developed for the µFR Nano Online reader exclusively.

Card/tag reading error on NT4H C Console software with device firmware version 5.0.52

The (currently latest) firmware version 5.0.52 may cause some SDK functions error, or the console freezing (issue detected in ufr-examples-c-nt4h software). If you are experiencing such a problem, the solution Is to install another firmware version on your device. If there is on new firmware version available in our firmware update list, we advise the firmware downgrade. The upgrade or downgrade of the firmware to the 5.0.51 version solves this issue. To install the new firmware, you can use the µFR Nano Online web settings (device IP), search for available firmware versions, and select the latest available firmware version, or the 5.0.51 version from the list.     Alternatively, for this purpose, you can also use desktop software https://code.d-logic.com/nfc-rfid-reader-sdk/ufr_online-flasher-oneclick.

Running Python SDK/software on macOS

For Python software examples, we suggest you use any Python 3.x.x version. If you don’t have the right Python version installed, use the following command line to install a new version: brew install python Now simply run our source code software example with the command: python3 file_name.py Please have in mind that our Python SDK structure has only one executable .py file (main file) and that one imports all other files as modules. For example, the NDEF Python SDK console uses ndef_example.py as the main file, so the software is executed with the following command: python3 ndef_example.py To make sure which file is the main executable file, you can simply check the source code of the *.py files and look for the one that has a ReaderOpen/ReaderOpenEx function calls.   NOTE: This test was performed with Python 3.7.2 so and included the following SDK:     https://code.d-logic.com/nfc-rfid-reader-sdk/ufr-ndef-examples-python-console     https://code.d-logic.com/nfc-rfid-reader-sdk/ufr-mf-examples-c
