Looking at that 9. References section of the application note, the software should be available here:

https://www.nxp.com/products/identification-and-security/nfc/nfc-reader-ics/explore-nfc-exclusive-from-element14:PNEV512…

Thks for the reply, but that is just the problem.;

I downloaded all the packages, with none of them was i able to install (ref 5.)

5. Install the files with the command:

sudo dpkg -i libneardal0_<version>_armhf.deb neardexplorenfc_<version>_armhf.deb

Where “<version>” needs to be substituted with the real version strings

contained in the file names."

What error are you seeing when you run the commands?

Also, what are the .deb files names you have that you are trying to install?

It might be helpful to provide the exact command string you are using to install these files.

Ref: EXPLORE NFC Board for Raspberry Pi

Used:

SW282816 Neard EXPLORE-NFC Dev â?? Using NeardAL with EXPLORE-NFC. (.zip)  

.zip contains:

>> libneardal-dev_0.14.3-1_armhf.deb

>>neard-explorenfc_1.2.orig.tar.gz

>> neard-explorenfc_1.2-1.debian.tar.xz

.zip does not contain (ref AN11480 4.3):

>>libneardal0_<version>_armhf.deb

>> neardexplorenfc_<version>_armhf.deb

When install:

>> libneardal-dev_0.14.3-1_armhf.deb

it asked for libneardal0_<version>_armhf.deb which is not available

Huh?

What command line string are you using to get the error?

Looks like you may have to uncompress the neard-explorenfc_1.2-1.debian.tar.xz and the neard-explorenfc_1.2.orig.tar.gz files further.

From what I can gather, your command line string should look like:

sudo dpkg -i libneardal-dev_0.14.3-1_armhf.deb   neard-explorenfc_1.2_armhf.deb

That is if neard-explorenfc_1.2-1_armhf.deb is in either neard-explorenfc compressed file.

Also, you need to be in the directory where you unzipped the files when you run the command.

I know what your saying but i did all that. Untarren etc, files are not available.

>> sudo dpkg -i libneardal0_<version>_armhf.deb neardexplorenfc_<version>_armhf.deb

If you are unwilling to provide the exact command line string your are typing to reach this error, then it would be nearly impossible to help you find a solution.

My recommendation is for you to provide either a screen shot or a copy-paste of the command your are typing and error you are seeing as well as post the output of 'ls' from the directory where you uncompressed the files.

It is not that i am unwilling to give the exact cmd string. That is not the problem. I'am  into linux more than a decade. The problem is that the two .deb files are not there.

" sudo dpkg -i libneardal0_<version>_armhf.deb neardexplorenfc_<version>_armhf.deb"

Anyway thanks Jon for the time that you already put into answering. But we better close this session. I'm in the process of an alternative.
