7.2.1 Low-Level Initialization

For the low-level initialization the MCU is initialized in MCU_init() by setting the main clock frequency of the MSP430F5529 to 25 MHz. The TRF7970A hardware connections and the MSP430F5529 SPI module (SPI clock running at 4 MHz; minimum recommended is 2 MHz) is initialized in TRF79x0_init(). After this, the NFC_init must be called to properly initialize all variables within the NFC stack. When the NFC stack is initialized, it can be configured by calling the NFC_configuration function, which sets up the NFC stack to enable the TRF7970A for the desired modes of communication. Users can customize the enabled NFC modes either by modifying the function within the firmware or by using the PC GUI interface. See Example 1 for an example of how to properly initialize the TRF7970A in the main(void) program of a C project.
