You can find a compiled version the latest OpenPCD2 firmware here.

Software development

The OpenPCD 2 firmware tree starts at firmware/lpc13xx/openpcd2/. In src/main.c you can see the interface for talking to the PN532 chip and sending out data via USB Serial CDC ACM protocol. Please check the PN532 datasheet for details on the RFID chip protocol.

Join our firmware development - browse our git source code repository or download as Unix tar.bz2 file and Windows ZIP File file. You can use the CodeSourcery ARM cortexm3 EABI Toolchain for Windows and Linux - it's a precompiled tool chain and thus easy to install.
