org.neard was not provided in .service files

Hi,

did you install all deb packages as described in the Start-up guide [1]?

sudo dpkg -i libneardal<version>_armhf.deb libwiringpi<version>.deb neard-explorenfc_<version>_armhf.deb

Did you enable the SPI interface?

https://learn.adafruit.com/downloads/pdf/adafruit-nfc-rfid-on-raspberry-pi.pdf gives a detailed look at using this card.

Hi Micheal,

I did install all the DEB packages. But I did not explicitly activated SPI. Let me try that once tonight.

Thanks

The SPI interface is definitely not activated if didn't do it explicitly.

Let me know if this solves the problem.

Michael

I have exactly the same problem. I did not follow the order in the installation, though: I activated SPI only after installation. Also I did not remove all peripheral when stacking the NFC board on top of the Raspberry Pi 2. But I can't see how this raises problems?

Hi Sascha,

you are right, the way you did the installation should not make it not to work.

So let's try find the problem.

Could you please provide the following info?

• Output of the command "lsmod"
• Output of the command "dpkg-query -l '*neard*' '*wiring*'"
• Name and version of the system image you are using.

Thanks,

Michael

Thank you for helping me! I re-installed the operating system but the same error occurs.

Cheers!

Everything looks right on your system.

SPI is active, all required packages are installed.

In the meantime I tried to figure out how I could reproduce the problem.

I disconnected the board and I tried a power supply which only provides 750mA current.

However I've not been able to reproduce the error message.

Did you get exactly the same error message like to original poster?

The text

The name org.cinnamon.SettingsDaemon...

makes me think of some troubles with a cinnamon component which is not part of EXPLORE-NFC.

Hi Micheal,

It worked after I enabled my SPI interface.

Thanks a lot man , you made my day!!

This is the error message I have now.

pi@raspberrypi ~/explore-nfc $ explorenfc-basic

neardal_mgr_prv_get_all_adapters() : Error: 2:GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.neard was not provided by any .service files

No adapter found

I think I had the same error message as the poster before re-installation but I am not too sure anymore now that I have this one.
