The new MicroRead Linux kernel driver, which was developed by Intel, enhances the integration of the MicroRead chip into a range of Linux-based TVs, set-top boxes, GPS devices, in-vehicle infotainment systems, electronic toys, industrial machines or medical devices by eliminating the need for manufacturers to write any software to use it.
The MicroRead Linux kernel driver is host controller interface (HCI)-based and supports two physical interfaces – I2C and the Intel Management Engine Interface (Intel MEI). NFC tag read, write and format, as well as several peer-to-peer mode functions are currently supported, and additional functionality such as card emulation and secure element access will be implemented when they are supported by the Linux NFC subsystem.
In recent news, Inside Secure has launched a near field communication (NFC) tag.
