NFC logcat spam in Android Studio

Products Support DragonBoard410c
#1

Hi, I’m running the Android 5.1 image provided by https://www.96boards.org/products/ce/dragonboard410c/ on my 410c, and seeing a ton of spam in logcat / adb. Apparently something to do with NFC?

In logcat:

These messages show up several times a second while plugged into the 410c. What can I do about this?

I got this, too. You can delete the NFC apk from /system and reboot and it quiets the spam. Not sure if it breaks anything.

#3

Thank you for reporting the error messages.

The procedure bellow from adb shell should remove the NFS apk.

adb root
adb remount
adb shell rm –rf /system/app/QNfc
adb shell rm -rf /system/app/GsmaNfcService
adb shell sync
adb reboot

We are considering to remove NFS files in the future release at the moment.

Seems to have fixed it, thanks!

#5

As new users of DragonBoard just trying to understand Android Studio talking to DragonBoard, this problem just wasted hours of our time.

“We are considering to remove NFS files in the future release at the moment.”

Presumably you’re talking about NFC, not NFS. And it’s 4+ months later and this problem wasn’t solved?

And why isn’t the target NO crap in the log. Even with the problem described here fixed, something is still pumping reams of incomprehensible jibberish into the logcat window. I’ll post that separately.

But for heaven’s sake, do you want people to actually use this product?
