NAME

       pn53x-tamashell - PN53x TAMA communication demonstration shell

SYNOPSIS

       pn53x-tamashell [script]

DESCRIPTION

       pn53x-tamashell  is  a  simple  interactive tool to send so called TAMA commands and receive the answers.
       TAMA refers to the command set supported by the PN53x family.  Messages are binary and the shell  expects
       hexadecimal  notation.   TAMA  commands and responses prefixes (0xD4/0xD5), CRC and any framing above are
       handled transparently.

       You can use the shell interactively (with readline support)  or  you  can  write  your  own  script  file
       consisting in commands and comments (anything that starts with ";", "#" or "//").  Spaces are ignored and
       can be used for readability.

       Shebang is supported, simply start your script with:
        #!/usr/bin/env pn53x-tamashell

COMMANDS

       p N to introduce a pause of N milliseconds.

       q or Ctrl-d to quit.

EXAMPLES

       GetFirmware command is D4 02, so one has just to send the command "02":

        $ pn53x-tamashell
        Connected to NFC reader: SCM Micro/SCL3711-NFC&RW - PN533 v2.7 (0x07)
        > 02
        Tx: 02
        Rx: 33  02  07  07
        > 40
        Tx: 40
        Rx: Command Not Acceptable
        > q
        Bye!

       Same thing, with a script:

        $ pn53x-tamashell << EOF
        // This is a comment
        02 // GetFirmware
        40 // Command with missing arguments
        EOF

        Connected to NFC reader: SCM Micro/SCL3711-NFC&RW - PN533 v2.7 (0x07)
        > // This is a comment
        > 02 // GetFirmware
        Tx: 02
        Rx: 33  02  07  07
        > 40 // Command with missing arguments
        Tx: 40
        Rx: Command Not Acceptable
        > Bye!
