Control relay over USB from Android - android

I have this USB Relay and I'd like to control from an Android phone.
(There is a similar post here but it explains how do it from a Linux shell. By looking at that code i figured i'd be able to solve it - apparently not.)
The device lists in lsusb:
Bus 002 Device 011: ID 16c0:05df VOTI

I find it strange that the end point is defined as "EP IN". In my mind it should be "EP OUT" since the direction should be "host->device".
Anyway, I use the Android USB manager to create a connection and then initialize the USbRequest for an interrupt based end point. Android permissions and all that is handled so the device is connected successfully.
Snippet for sending data. It runs in a separate thread following the Android guidelines:
UsbRequest request = new UsbRequest();
synchronized (mUsbLock) {
if (mUsbConnection != null && mUsbEndPointIn != null) {
if (!request.initialize(mUsbConnection, mUsbEndPointIn)) {
Log.e(TAG, "Unable to initialize UsbRequest. Thread exits");
return;
} else {
if (DEBUG) {
Log.d(TAG, String.format("Usb request is initialized"));
}
}
} else {
Log.e(TAG, "Usb communication is not up and running. The worker thread should never be started.");
return;
}
}
mRunning.set(true);
while (mRunning.get()) {
if (DEBUG) {
Log.d(TAG, String.format("Waiting for data to be sent to end point"));
}
WorkPackage wp = mWorkQueue.take();
// send the package.
byte[] data = wp.getData();
if (!request.queue(ByteBuffer.wrap(data), data.length)) {
Log.e(TAG, "Unable to queue to send data on UsbRequest.");
continue;
} else {
if (DEBUG) {
Log.d(TAG, String.format("Usb request is queued on end point, ep=%s", printUsbEndpoint(mUsbEndPointIn)));
}
}
}
It seems everything is fine, no errors occur and the request is queued on the end point but then nothing happens at all. I don't get any message back that the request has been handled.
Since the supplier won't release the on/off commands I tried variants based on the Linux post (above). None seem to work though. Supplier only release Windows binary lib.
Sending 8 byte packages (according to max package):
public static byte[] SET_RELAY_ON = {(byte) 0xff, (byte) 0x00, (byte) 0x00, (byte) 0x00, (byte) 0x00, (byte) 0x00, (byte) 0x00, (byte) 0x00};
public static byte[] SET_RELAY_OFF = {(byte) 0xfd, (byte) 0x00, (byte) 0x00, (byte) 0x00, (byte) 0x00, (byte) 0x00, (byte) 0x00, (byte) 0x00};
Help appreciated.

So, i figured out how to do this. I will write the solution here in case someone else is having a similar problem.
I had to snoop the USB traffic to understand what to actually send. It turned out that the defined interrupt end point was not used at all. So, the communication with the device was not interrupt based but instead using the control transfer type on end point 0.
So, using the Android USB API this translates into:
Open device (device->host direction):
int r = mUsbConnection.controlTransfer(0xa1, 0x01, 0x0300, 0x00, buffer, buffer.length, 500);
Open relay '1' (host->device direction).
byte[] buffer = {(byte) 0xff, (byte) 0x01, (byte) 0x00, (byte) 0x00, (byte) 0x00, (byte) 0x00, (byte) 0x00, (byte) 0x00};
int r = mUsbConnection.controlTransfer(0x21, 0x09, 0x0300, 0x00, buffer, buffer.length, 500);
Note, the second parameter in the buffer (0x01) is the relay number (in case you have >1 relay on the board). I only had one.
close relay '1' (host->device direction):
byte[] buffer = {(byte) 0xfd, (byte) 0x01, (byte) 0x00, (byte) 0x00, (byte) 0x00, (byte) 0x00, (byte) 0x00, (byte) 0x00};
int r = mUsbConnection.controlTransfer(0x21, 0x09, 0x0300, 0x00, buffer, buffer.length, 500);

I have found the project in Github which is similar with this it (for who is looking it)
https://github.com/gigacycle/AndroidHidUsbRelayControl
I have tested this code and I can confirm that it works well with the USB relay board.

Unable to send keyboard events to Bluetooth HID connected device

I am able to connect to the Bluetooth HID device successfully and able to control the paired device home button and navigation buttons.
But unable to send Keyboard key events properly to the HID device. When I am typing something in the host device, the HID device responding with random actions.
I have the following code for the connection with descriptors array,
override fun onServiceConnected(profile: Int, proxy: BluetoothProfile?) {
if (profile == BluetoothProfile.HID_DEVICE) {
mBtHidDevice = proxy as BluetoothHidDevice
val sdp = BluetoothHidDeviceAppSdpSettings(
"HidControl",
"Android HID Joystick",
"Android",
0xC0.toByte(),
descriptor
)
}
}
The descriptor array is as below,
private val descriptor = byteArrayOf( // HID descriptor
0x09, // bLength
0x21, // bDescriptorType - HID
0x11, 0x01, // bcdHID (little endian - 1.11)

0x81.toByte(), 0x02, // INPUT (Data,Var,Abs)
0xc0.toByte(), // END_COLLECTION
0xc0.toByte() // END_COLLECTION
)
Code to send keyboard events to the target device is below
override fun onKeyUp(keyCode: Int, event: KeyEvent?): Boolean {
Log.d("Key Codes ", "$keyCode + event: $event")
for (btDev in mBtHidDevice!!.connectedDevices) {
mBtHidDevice!!.sendReport(
btDev, 0, byteArrayOf(event!!.keyCode.toByte())
)
mBtHidDevice!!.sendReport(
btDev, 0, byteArrayOf(
0
)
)
}
return super.onKeyUp(keyCode, event)
}
Please suggest if I am missing anything here. Thanks for the help!
You need to use Keyboard Usage Page.
The logical minimum and logical maximum that I see is only from 1 to 4. You wanted those USAGEs alone?
Refer to HID usage table https://www.usb.org/document-library/hid-usage-tables-122
There is a Keyboard use case in the appendix. You can refer to that.

How to define an APDU for STORE DATA for Host Card Emulation?

I have been looking in the Global Platform Spec on how to define an APDU for my app which will use Host Card Emulation (HCE). My app is supposed to have one phone behaving like an NFC tag through HCE and another phone acting as the NFC reader. The arbitrary data that i am trying to transfer between the phones is just a simple string containing an ID number, but I'm not really sure how to apply it in the code. I have looked at what the different byte commands mean but I'm really not sure how to apply it.
I think I need to use the STORE DATA command but I'm not sure how to intuitively do it and don't really understand. I am currently looking at the HCE side rather than the reader side.
This is my code so far for the HCE side
public class SecondaryActivity extends HostApduService {
#Override
public void onDeactivated(int reason) {
}
#Override
public byte[] processCommandApdu(byte[] commandApdu, Bundle extras) {
String inboundApduDescription;
byte[] responseApdu;
if (Arrays.equals(AID_SELECT_APDU, commandApdu)) {
inboundApduDescription = "Application selected";
Log.i("HCEDEMO", inboundApduDescription);
byte[] answer = new byte[2];
answer[0] = (byte) 0x90;
answer[1] = (byte) 0x00;
responseApdu = answer;
return responseApdu;
}
return commandApdu;
}
private static final byte[] AID_SELECT_APDU = {
(byte) 0x00,
(byte) 0xA4,
(byte) 0x04,
(byte) 0x00,
(byte) 0x07,
(byte) 0xF0, (byte) 0x39, (byte) 0x41, (byte) 0x48, (byte) 0x14, (byte) 0x81, (byte) 0x00,
(byte) 0x00
};
private static final byte[] STORE_DATA = {
(byte) 0x00,
(byte) 0xA4,
(byte) 0x04,
(byte) 0xA5, // forproprietary data according to the spec
(byte) 0xE2,
(byte) 0x66, (byte) 0x39, (byte) 0x41, (byte) 0x48, (byte) 0x14, (byte) 0x81, (byte) 0x00,
(byte) 0x00
};
private static final byte[] INSTALL = {
(byte) 0x00,
(byte) 0x00,
};
}
How do I send the data from the HCE phone to the reader phone?
What am I missing?
What needs to be done?
You can define virtually any APDU command for HCE. Only the initial SELECT (by AID) command is required. After that, you can create your own command set (or try to follow ISO/IEC 7816-4 commands) as long as you obey the rules of ISO/IEC 7816 for command/response APDU structure, and stick to valid CLA, INS, and status word values.
Since you only want to transfer an ID, you could send this ID directly in response to the SELECT command:
private static final String ID = "1234567890"
#Override
public byte[] processCommandApdu(byte[] commandApdu, Bundle extras) {
byte[] responseApdu = new byte[] { (byte)0x6F, (byte)0x00 };
if ((commandApdu != null) && (commandApdu.length >= 4)) {
if ((commandApdu[0] == (byte)0x00) && (commandApdu[1] == (byte)0xA4) && (commandApdu[2] == (byte)0x04) && (commandApdu[3] == (byte)0x00)) {
Log.i("HCEDEMO", "Application selected");
byte[] id = ID.getBytes(Charset.forName("UTF-8"));
responseApdu = new byte[id.length + 2];
System.arraycopy(id, 0, responseApdu, 0, id.length);
responseApdu[id.length] = (byte)0x90;
responseApdu[id.length + 1] = (byte)0x00;
}
}
return responseApdu;
}

ACR122 - Android / How to get the UID's [duplicate]

I try to integrate an ACR122 to my android app. I'm using the ANDROID Library (http://www.acs.com.hk/en/products/3/acr122u-usb-nfc-reader/) available from ACS.
Everything work, I can detect the presence of a card but I want to extract the UID/ID of the card. Someone know the function to do that?
Do you have an example of this type of integration?
In case of Mifare card you need to send this APDU byte array to the card: (byte) 0xFF, (byte) 0xCA, (byte) 0x00, (byte) 0x00, (byte) 0x00 . I'm not sure about ACR122 API but probably you need to wrap this APDU into specific API method like transmit()
UPDATE
Sample code:
byte[] command = new byte[] { (byte) 0xFF, (byte) 0xCA, (byte) 0x00, (byte) 0x00, (byte) 0x00 };
byte[] response = new byte[300];
int responseLength;
responseLength = reader.transmit(slotNum, command, command.length, response,response.length);
System.out.println(new String(response));
Reader is com.acs.smartcard.Reader object
and slotNum is a the slot number. I’m not sure how to find it because I don’t have ACR to test. But if you told that you was able to establish basic communication with reader probably you know slotNum.
In order to prevent this error when trying to read the UID:
com.acs.smartcard.InvalidDeviceStateException: The current state is not equal to specific.
This should rather be:
int slotNum = 0;
byte[] payload = new byte[] { (byte) 0xFF, (byte) 0xCA, (byte) 0x00, (byte) 0x00, (byte) 0x00 };
byte[] response = new byte[7]; // 7 bytes + 90 00 (9 bytes)
try {
reader.power(slotNum, Reader.CARD_WARM_RESET);
reader.setProtocol(slotNum, Reader.PROTOCOL_T0 | Reader.PROTOCOL_T1);
reader.transmit(slotNum, payload, payload.length, response, response.length);
logBuffer(response, response.length);
} catch (ReaderException e) {
Log.e(LOG_TAG, e.getMessage(), e);
}

What is / how do I find the universal ibeacon identifier?

I am trying to write an android application to interface with iBeacons, but I need to find the start of the UUID / major / minor characteristics in the byte array. Through look at a couple of resources including this question, it seems like ALL iBeacons transmit some pattern in the byte array that is the same that identifies them as iBeacons.
I asked another question recently and got a useful answer, link here but 1) I haven't been able to test it's functionality (waiting on my device) and 2) I want to know how it is working.
So my questions: What is that pattern? Can I find it just by searching that array for the pattern? And is the UUID / Major / Minor always a predefined number of spots in the array from that identifying pattern?
Thanks!
So after looking around on a few different sites, I have found that 3 people list their patterns as
02 01 06 1A FF 4C 00 02 15
or
02 01 1A 1A FF 4C 00 02 15
which isn't super helpful, since the 4C 00 appears to just be the Apple identifier, which I'm assuming could switch based on the manufacturer (Estimote, GE, Apple, whatever). However, it appears that the
02 15
is static, so I'm using that. My solution for finding it basically is just searching the byte array that I get for the first occurrence of that sequence of 2 bytes, and starting right after that I grab the next 16 as the UUID, the next 2 after that as the Major, and the next 2 after that as the Minor. So to clarify with code:
//adPacket is an array I created to represent an iBeacon ad for testing
byte[] adPacket = {(byte) 0xd6, (byte) 0xbe, (byte) 0x89, (byte) 0x8e, 0x40, 0x24, 0x05, (byte) 0xa2,
0x17, 0x6e, 0x3d, 0x71, 0x02, 0x01, 0x06, 0x1A, (byte) 0xFF, 0x4C, 0x00, 0x02, 0x15, (byte) 0xe2,
(byte) 0xc5, 0x6d, (byte) 0xb5, (byte) 0xdf, (byte) 0xfb, 0x48, (byte) 0xd2, (byte) 0xb0, 0x60, (byte) 0xd0,
(byte) 0xf5, (byte) 0xa7, 0x10, (byte) 0x96, (byte) 0xe0, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, (byte) 0xc5, 0x52, (byte) 0xab, (byte) 0x8d, 0x38, (byte) 0xa5};
byte[] pattern = {0x02, 0x15};
int startIndex = findAdPacketEnd(adPacket, pattern) + 1;
if(startIndex == 0){ System.out.println("Pattern not found"); return;}
int endIndex = startIndex + 21;
ArrayList<Byte> tempArray = new ArrayList<Byte>();
for(int i = startIndex; i<endIndex; i++){
tempArray.add(adPacket[i]);
}
byte[] proxUUID = new byte[16];
for(int i = 0; i<16; i++){
proxUUID[i] = tempArray.get(i);
}
byte[] major = new byte[2];
major[0] = tempArray.get(16);
major[1] = tempArray.get(17);
byte[] minor = new byte[2];
minor[0] = tempArray.get(18);
minor[1] = tempArray.get(19);
...
where my findAdPacketEnd function is (not the most efficient but it works):
private static int findAdPacketEnd(byte[] adPacket, byte[] pattern){
//return -1 if pattern is too long
if(adPacket.length < pattern.length)
return -1;
//iterate over adPacket
for(int i = 0; i<adPacket.length - pattern.length; i++){
System.out.println("Searching Ad Packet");
//iterate over pattern
for(int j = 0; j<pattern.length; j++){
//compare wherever you are in the adpacket to the pattern, break if it doesn't match
if(adPacket[i+j] != pattern[j])
break;
// if you get to the end of the pattern and there wasn't a mismatch, return the index
if(j == pattern.length-1)
return i+pattern.length-1;
}
}
//pattern not found
return -1;
}

How to do authentication for MIFARE Ultralight C on Android

I used an android APP (NFC tag info by NXP) to read my MIFARE Ultraglith C tag and it shows the tag has NXP default key "BREAKMEIFYOUCAN!" on page 0x2C to 0x2F. But I was still failing to authenticate this tag use this key.
// NXP default key: BREAKMEIFYOUCAN! (16 bytes)
byte[] mifareULCDefaultKey = { (byte) 0x49, (byte) 0x45,
(byte) 0x4D, (byte) 0x4B, (byte) 0x41, (byte) 0x45,
(byte) 0x52, (byte) 0x42, (byte) 0x21, (byte) 0x4E,
(byte) 0x41, (byte) 0x43, (byte) 0x55, (byte) 0x4F,
(byte) 0x59, (byte) 0x46 };
In details, I got following result:

But I still got "Transceive failed" IOException after sending 2nd authentication command. I'm sure the tag is still connected before sending 2nd authentication command.
I have cost 8+ hours on this issue, but still cannot move ahead. Anyone can help?
I had the same problem. The problem is that you are using the wrong Diversified Key for Authentication.
