PUBLIC
The NXP products MIFARE Ultralight, MIFARE Ultralight C, MIFARE DESFire and
MIFARE Classic 1k/4k/Mini shall be formatted to be compliant with the NFC Forum
Type Tag Platform or to the NXP Specific Type Tag Platform. The formatting is a
procedure that consists of sending a sequence of commands to the contactless tags in
order to configure the functionalities and the internal data structures. This is necessary
to set the contactless tags to be compliant with the NFC Forum Type Tag Platform or
to the NXP Specific Type Tag Platform.
For the NXP products the formatting procedures use mainly specific commands. The
general formatting procedures are described in the following Application Notes:
The formatting procedure can be integrated in the tag production or it can be
implemented in an NFC Forum Device e.g. mobile phone to format tags at their first
use. The following sections describe some more details of the formatting procedure in
these two cases.
When a tag is presented in front of an NFC Forum Device (e.g. mobile phone), the
NFC Forum Device does not know how to format it being not aware a priori of the tag
specific information like the type of product (i.e. MIFARE Ultralight, MIFARE Ultralight
C, MIFARE DESFire, MIFARE Classic 1k/4k/Mini) and the product settings. This
information is fundamental for conducting successfully the formatting procedure and it
shall be automatically detected by the NFC Forum Device.
Due to the previous issues before formatting a product the NFC Forum Device uses
specific command sequences (for more information see [NXP T2T, NXP T4T, NXP
MFNFC]) to be able to:
Finally if the product type and settings are correct, the product can be formatted
accordingly.
