Hi,
As you are trying to get the pn544.c driver to work, it won't directly.
(As far as I know, pn544.c will look for the NFC chip(some initialization ,
power-on/off stuff).
Being more precise, there are 3 layers for NFC to work on Android (& Android
Kernel).
* NFC-libraries (open sourced by NXP)*
|
*NFC Driver* (pn544.c in this case)
|
*NFC-chip firmware*.
Now, coming to your point,
" My focus really is how to access the secure element on
the android who already have the NFC system?"
If you have an Android system with the NFC , then you may not access the
secure element from the Android Apps because the frameworks of Android for
all the possible use-cases is not yet complete.(right now, only p2p
communication and Tags-read/write has been done). Card-emulation using
NFC(which requires Secure element acces) has not been done yet on Android.
When I went through pn544.c , it seems to have very limited capability and
most of the things are handled by NFC-chip firmware and NFC-libraries
provided by NXP.
-Best regards
Dharam
