PN532Killer

PN532Killer provides a PN532-compatible host interface together with extended reader, tag-emulation, and capture functions. Use USB for initial setup; the optional LF/BLE extension adds wireless connectivity and supported low-frequency workflows.

Purpose

Reader

Communicate with supported tags

Emulator

Present a prepared tag profile from an emulator slot

Sniffer

Capture supported reader / tag exchanges

ISO14443A/B and ISO15693 support depends on firmware and software. MIFARE Classic, Ultralight / NTAG, and ISO15693 emulation profiles are available in supported builds. EM4100 workflows require the corresponding LF hardware. Standard PN532 software does not automatically expose every PN532Killer extension.

Host Connections

Use USB with PN532 CLI or MTools on Android. Use the BLE extension with MTools BLE on Android or iOS. On extension-equipped firmware, select the matching Settings → Host Interface before connecting.

The USB interface uses CH343 on supported board revisions. Install the matching driver if the operating system does not expose a serial port.

The dedicated PN532Killer documentation provides additional guides. Host source is available in PN532 CLI; official firmware and protocol documentation are maintained in the PN532Killer repository.
