Hi, I would like to read an ID from an Felica card, with the pn532 from Adafruit. In the datasheet it's written that i can read it as well as ISO 14443A/Mifare (Classic) and ISO 14443B cards. But in the Arduino code i only find the readMifare programs.
So is anyone know how i would be able to read my FeliCa card?
Thanks

Re: FeliCa for PN532
The PN532 hardware can communicate with type B and type F cards, but our software only supports type A cards. It was a tradeoff between completeness and code size. The encryption standards are especially hard to implement on an Arduino, given its limited memory.

Re: FeliCa for PN532
Thus, to be able to read a FeliCa card, i will have to write a new Arduino code by myself?

Re: FeliCa for PN532
That's correct. Unfortunately, Felica is very rarely used outside of Asia and it just doesn't make sense for us to support it given the overwhelming dominance of Mifare for low cost, easy to order 13.56MHz RFID cards. Implementing support for Mifare Classic with basic Ultralight support and documenting it was already a significant amount of development effort, and we wouldn't be able to reproduce the same support for Felica since (personally) I've never even seen a Felica card in the real world, and this is probably the first request we've ever had for them.
That said ... if you do implement anything around them, we'd be happy to integrate for them back into the code base.

Hello,
Did you ever produce code for the Arduino accessing a FeliCa card? I'm interested as in Hong Kong, the Octopus transport payment system is based on FeliCa technology.

Hi, i managed to read FeliCa card ID's (Hong Kong Octopus type) by re-writing the library function, based on the PN532 user manual. more details on my blog http://lantaukwcounter.blogspot.hk/2015 ... -with.html
