Driver installation

Choose the appropriate driver according to your actual situation, taking CH341 as an example.

Windows

Download and install CH341SER

macOS

Download and install CH341SER_MAC

Linux

Usually, the Linux kernel already includes the driver for CH341, so there is no need to install the driver separately. If your Linux kernel does not include the CH341 driver, you can try to download and install CH341SER_LINUX

How to compile

Compile the core component

Windows

1. Install MSYS2
2. Enter the project directory and execute the following command in CMD

    C:\msys64\msys2_shell.cmd -mingw64 -defterm -here -no-start -c ./compile.sh

   Replace C:\msys64\ with the installation path of MSYS2.

Linux

1. Install dependencies (using Ubuntu as an example)

   sudo apt-get install curl autoconf libtool pkg-config patchelf liblzma-dev libreadline-dev

   The dependency names may vary on different distributions.

2. Enter the project directory and execute the following command:

   sh ./compile.sh

macOS

1. Install dependencies:

   brew install autoconf automake libtool pkg-config

2. Enter the project directory and execute the following command:

   sh ./compile.sh

Compile GUI

1. Install Node.js
2. Enter the project directory and execute the following command:

   npm install
   npm run make

3. After compilation, the compiled files can be found in the out directory

   You can also use npm run start to debug this project.

Directory usage

In addition to the installation directory, the program also uses the following directories to store user files:

• Windows: %APPDATA%\NFCToolsGUI
• Linux: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/NFCToolsGUI or ~/.config/NFCToolsGUI
• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/NFCToolsGUI

Notes on Linux

Cannot find a serial port like ttyUSB0

First, run the following command:

sudo dmesg | grep brltty

If the output is similar to the following content, it means that your serial port has been occupied by brltty:

interface 0 claimed by ch341 while 'brltty' sets config #1

Execute:

sudo apt remove brltty

to uninstall brltty, and then plug in the device again.

Find the Serial Port But Can't Open It

In Linux, accessing a serial port requires sufficient permissions. One solution is to add the current user to the dialout group, which has permissions to access the serial port. This way, the program can access the serial port without using sudo.

You can use the following command to add the current user to the dialout group

sudo usermod -a -G dialout <username>

After adding, you need to log out and log in again to make the changes take effect.

If you don't want to add the user to the dialout group, you can modify the permissions of the serial port file to allow the program to access it. For example, you can use the following command to modify the permission of the /dev/ttyUSB0 file to 666:

sudo chmod 666 /dev/ttyUSB0
