- MC33XXR
API Enhancements
Enhanced APIs:
- Unified SDK to work with RFD2000 and RFD8500
- Fixed issue when bigger PC value than 3000H can result in crash in SDK
IMPORTANT
RFID SDK 2.0.0.2.75 breaks compatibility in reporting of PC value as part of tag data. Earlier version of SDK was reporting hexadecimal PC value as decimal PC value e.g. 96 bit Tag PC value is 0x3000 which was being reported as 3000 earlier. This updated SDK will report PC value correctly in decimal value as 12288 (= 0x3000) It is recommended that application convert back PC value in HEX format to show it in similar fashion
