NFC Services: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

The New3DS NFC module was added with [[8.1.0-0_New3DS]]. The Old3DS NFC module was added with [[9.3.0-21|9.3.0-X]].

On New3DS NFC module uses the NFC hardware via the [[I2C_Services|i2c::NFC]] and [[GPIO_Services|gpio:NFC]] services. On Old3DS NFC module communicates with a NFC peripheral via IR with the IRUSER service.

On New3DS NFC module uses the [[I2C_Registers|NFC]] hardware via the [[I2C_Services|i2c::NFC]] and [[GPIO_Services|gpio:NFC]] services. On Old3DS NFC module communicates with a NFC peripheral via IR with the IRUSER service.

A total of 6 sessions can be open simultaneously for all of these services combined.

Line 9:

This is the NFC service used by regular applications.

This was first seen in the Super Smash Bros eShop demo (only in the exheader, the demo doesn't actually use it), but at that time no system-module was available for NFC on CDN. The first regular application to use this service was Super Smash Bros, with the v1.0.5 game-update, which used the new 9.3.0-21 command set.

This entire file is also read during NFC module / [[amiibo Settings]] startup(unknown if this is done during NFC module startup or via a service cmd).
