NFC Reader Writer - uFR Advance

uFR Advance is a second model in Digital Logic’s uFR Series of NFC RFID readers writers, which represents an improved version of uFR Classic.
It is an NFC Forum & RFID compatible contactless reader/writer which successfully implements ISO14443 A & B and ISO18092 standards on an HF working frequency of 13.56 MHz.
This device is a genuine Digital Logic product, 100% designed, produced, and programmed at company premises located in Serbia, Europe.
All models of the uFR Series are using the same SDK API and are totally compatible and interoperable in a common set of functions.

The device comes with a fully featured SDK package, which includes firmware, libraries, software examples, and documentation for various platforms, operating systems, and developing environments. Regular SDK upgrades (including firmware, libraries, and API) are launched often and can be obtained from the company’s website for FREE. 

All mentioned facts combined with free extensive and fast responsive support give this product an outstanding position in this industry sector.

Hardware

Reader’s RF communication is based on NXP’s powerful, highly integrated reader IC for contactless communication at 13.56 MHz, which supports all protocol layers of the ISO/IEC 14443 A, ISO/IEC 14443 B, and ISO/IEC 18092 communication standards.
All variants of the MIFARE® cards family (MIFARE Mini®, MIFARE Classic® 1K, MIFARE Classic® 4K, MIFARE Ultralight®, MIFARE Ultralight C® MIFARE DESFire® EV1, and MIFARE Plus® ) RF identification protocols are supported. Additionally, NFC Forum specification for “Type 2 Tag” is supported, which adds the NTAG2xx chip family to the above list.
It has a built-in anti-collision mechanism for detecting multiple cards at a time. Built-in well-tuned antenna provides proximity operating distance up to 80 mm (depending on the card’s antenna geometry) and contactless communication speed at higher baud rates (up to 424 kBd).
The device also has a built-in Crypto1® algorithm and secure non-volatile internal key memory storage for better security. Communication with the host is provided by using a USB 2.0 Full Speed compatible interface. Data transfer rates are limited from 9600 baud to 1 Mbaud, for integrity and security reasons.
The reader can also act as a serial interface device using FTDI’s Virtual COM port (VCP) drivers.
Audible (speaker) and 2 LEDs visible indicators are built in and absolutely user controllable.

Active amplified antenna with RF booster – providing better and more homogenous card reading range. (Optional)

SAM (Secure Access Module) slot for PCM1.1 SAM cards – ideal for storing keys in the most secure manner and for performing secure cryptography operations. (Optional)

The main differences compared to uFR Classic are:

    • addition of RTC (Real Time Clock), which provides always accurate time to prevent fake logs and timestamps
    • user configurable, password-protected part of EEPROM, which is convenient for storing sensitive data, like license keys or similar.

Firmware

Since hardware is based on the MCU platform, it runs on company-developed custom firmware. Communication between host and reader is provided through high-speed direct access FTDI chip features.
At the core, the communication level device uses a company-developed, proprietary communication protocol, which is well documented in SDK API reference.

Software Development Kit (SDK)

Reader comes with fully featured SDK which consist of external libraries, software examples with source codes, documentation about API reference and communication protocol and some useful software tools.
Libraries are cross-compiled for various platforms and regularly supported are Windows x86/x64 and UWP, Linux x86/x64, Mac OSX x64, ARM/ARM HF and Arduino. Other platforms can be supported as custom release, on customers demand, depending on existence of project or partnership relation.
Software examples are divided in three stages according to complexity, with some new additions of NFC examples.
