NFC RFID Reader/Writer µFR Classic - Development tool with free SDK in all major programming languages

Hardware

This RFID NFC reader’s RF communication is based on its robust, highly integrated NXP IC interface. The device operates on HF 13.56 MHz and successfully communicates with cards, labels, wristbands, and tags of the ISO/IEC 14443 A, ISO/IEC 14443 B, and ISO/IEC 18092 standards.

With outstanding modulation and demodulation concepts and many integrated 13.56 MHz contactless communication protocols, this device implementation becomes reliable and straightforward for every RFID NFC solution developer.

uFR ClassicCards min

Both hardware and software are fully developed, tested, and successfully implemented with MIFARE®, NTAG21x, NTAG 4xx DNA, and JCOP family cards/tags:

  • MIFARE Mini®,
  • MIFARE Classic® (1K, 4K, EV1),
  • MIFARE Ultralight®,
  • MIFARE Ultralight C®,
  • MIFARE Plus® (2K, 4K),
  • MIFARE DESFire® (Light, 2K, 4K, 8K, EV1, EV2),
  • NXP NTAG® 21x (210, 213, 215, 216, Tag Tamper),
  • NXP NTAG® 4xx DNA (413, 424),
  • NXP JCOP® Java Card (J3A040, J3A081, J3H145, JC30M48CR).

This tool also supports all other tags compatible with the list above. This RFID device also has a built-in Crypto1® algorithm and secure non-volatile internal key memory storage for better security. The USB 2.0 Full Speed compatible interface provides communication with the host. For integrity and security reasons, data transfer rates are limited from 9600 baud to 1 Mbaud. This NFC RFID Reader can also act as a serial interface device using FTDI’s Virtual COM port (VCP) drivers.

Even though the supported technologies list is already extensive, our development team constantly works on product improvements and upgrades, keeping up with global trends in this technology.

  • This RFID model is also available as an OEM NFC module.
  • The audible (speaker) and 2 RGB LEDs visible indicators are built-in and completely user-controllable.

Firmware

Digital Logic’s proprietary interoperable firmware runs on all MCU platform-based µFR Series hardware. The reader and the host communicate through the high-speed FTDI chip’s direct access. At the core, on the communication level, the device uses a unique proprietary communication protocol from Digital Logic. µFR Series firmware contains many complex built-in functions that can be called via libraries explained in API docs.

Most of the functions are developed to make “life easier” for developers and integrators by decreasing their development time, such as:

  • Support for multiple RFID NFC readers on a single host.
  • The whole set of commands for MIFARE Classic® manipulation according to the manufacturer’s specification
  • Various addressing schemes (Block, BlockInSector)
  • The key storage handling(one way, write only, no reading of stored keys)
  • Various key applying modes (by index or scheme)
  • Value block manipulation
  • Using the entire memory structure as linear space ( convenient for most card types)
  • NFC tags handling, NDEF format parsing in firmware
  • AES128 “on the fly” built-in hardware encryption, which is extremely important for working with complex DESFire security keys
  • AES128 encryption of files and keys in DESFire cards
  • MIFARE Plus support
  • MIFARE Ultralight C support
  • APDU command structure support, where applicable (ISO 14443-4 layer)
  • Asynchronous UID sending from reader to host COM port when a card is present – the feature is user-programmable.

The μFR Firmware key feature is the ability to call all its functions using our communication protocol. Therefore, implementing the μFR device on almost any platform with a serial interface is possible using the communication protocol.

Standard delivery generally occurs within 5 to 7 business days after the shipping date. However, the delivery may take about 7 to 10 business days, depending on the shipping destination, logistics, weather conditions, product weight, size, or shipping company distribution structures.

SHIPPING COSTS: For some industrial products, e.g., heavy wheels, CNC machines, etc., the shipping cost is calculated based on the product weight, not quantity. To benefit from lower shipping costs for orders with multiple items, please contact us at sales@ozrobotics.com. Our shipping rates are listed clearly on each product page under the SHIPPING tab. Additionally, to see the shipping cost for your country, add the item to the Shopping Cart; you will see the shipping cost based on your Country and Location.

CUSTOMS and TARIFFS: While not all products require a tariff, some products may require a minimal tariff if applicable in your country. The total amount for your order does not include a customs fee/tariff. The United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) deducts import tax, or customs duty, on goods valued over $800 USD from customers located in the US. A tariff belongs to the buyer when applicable. Why don't we add tariffs to the product's retail price? - If all countries deducted the same tariff amount, we would have added the tariff amount to the product price. However, we do not do that because each country charges a different amount, while some do not even charge. Therefore, we can't add any tariff to the product's retail pricing. Oz Robotics, manufacturing partners, or Suppliers are not responsible for tariffs. Please check the "Made In:" and "Brand:" labels on the product page to see the product's origin. The total amount for your order does not include any duties, import taxes, customs fees, and GST/VAT. The buyer must pay all import duties. If you choose not to pay the tariff and parcel returns, there will not be any refund. Please click here to see more on Tariffs.
