    This document describes the PNEV5180B 2.2 (PN5180 evaluation board), which provides an easy evaluation of the features and functions of the PN5180. It provides the first steps to operate the board, using the NFC Cockpit (PN5180 GUI Version 4.7). The default antenna is a 65mm x 65mm antenna with some metal layer inside the antenna area.

    Note: Do not mix up the LPC 1769 firmware (LPC FW or “Secondary FW”) with the PN5180 FW. The LPC FW is required to “connect” the PN5180 to the NFC cockpit, while the PN5180 FW is part of the PN5180 functionality and can only be updated via the secure firmware update procedure.

    AN11744 NXP Semiconductors PN5180 Evaluation board quick start guide the NFC cockpit tries to overrule that in the AWC tab. Disabling the AWC changes the EEPROM. Note: It is recommended to store the complete EEPROM content (backup!) using the <Dump EEPROM> before disabling the AWC. This allows an easy recovery at any time, even if the EEPROM is messed up.

    Enabling the test bus changes the EEPROM adr. 0x17 (refer to TESTBUS_ENABLE, see [1]). Enabling the test bus changes the communication between PN5180 and LPC, since the IRQ pin is used for test signals, and therefore cannot be used as IRQ pin anymore.

    \NxpNfcCockpit_v4.6.1.0\cfg\NxpNfcCockpit_Configuration.ini Note: The LPCD requires a stable TVDD, otherwise the AGC value is not stable and the PN5180 wakes up easily. So, for standard USB only operation (no external power supply) it is recommended to use a) a higher gear number (which reduces ITVDD and TVDD ripple)
