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!
