Ever wanted to use your phone's NFC reader on Linux? Now you can — right from GNOME! I built a minimal NFC app using neard and D-Bus — no hacks, no proprietary drivers. Just run the daemon, tap a tag, and it works. 👉 https://gitlab.gnome.org/dh/gnfc/ 1/2 #nfc #LinuxMobile #MobileLinux #Mobian #NixOS #postmarketOS

What works today: read & import vCards from NFC tags, and detect any tag read — great for verifying your hardware is actually enabled. It's early but real. Contributions and feedback very welcome — let's make Linux NFC happen! 🏷️ 2/2

@okias
do we need yo install sdm845-next kernel for this to work?
Show threadDavid Heidelberg4d ago
@pocketvj Oneplus 6/6T should work with older kernels, some devices still doesn't have NFC enabled, but some (such as Shift 6MQ) will work only with sdm845-next.

@okias @pocketvj so the wiki page https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/OnePlus_6_(oneplus-enchilada)#NFC is outdated and it should be changed to just "works" also in the overview table?

@darkdragon @pocketvj yes, many pmOS devices wiki pages are outdated.

@darkdragon IMHO the wiki page should only changed to "works" once you can just take an edge image, maybe install gnfc, and it works - everything else feels misleading, since the page statuses IMHO should represent the status of @postmarketOS one can get to without fully customizing the install and going beyond it. So if it's "if you compile and install this kernel from over there and this library from somewhere else, and then do this and that, then it works" it's a "partial". @pocketvj @okias

@linmob @postmarketOS @pocketvj @okias based on the previous comment I replied to, this should be the case for OnePlus 6 and no additional customizations should be necessary. Since I don't own such a device, I asked for clarification.
