MIFARE SDK is now TapLinx SDK

This sample application is developed using NXP’s TapLinx SDK available at www.mifare.net –> Products -> Tools -> TapLinx. TapLinx is upgraded version of MIFARE SDK. Currently this SDK provides APIs for communication with NXP’s MIFARE (e.g. Classic, Ultralight, Plus, DESFire), NTAG (e.g. NTAG 2xx, NTAG 4xx DNA) and ICODE (e.g. SLI, DNA) products.
Unlike earlier MIFARE SDK, there is only one version which supports all functionalities of all (supported) cards/tags and is free to use.

This simple application detects any NXP HF RFID Card or Tag and demonstrates read/write of data onto the card. PLEASE NOTE that the contents of the card SHALL be modified (if card state allows) when used with this application. Hence exercise caution while tapping any card with default key set.

More details and source code of this application is available for download at TapLinx SDK product page @ https://www.mifare.net/en/products/tools/taplinx/.
