NFC - Peer To Peer Communication

The goal of Peer To Peer communication is exchange of data between two NFC devices. One
NFC device acts as Initiator and the other NFC device acts as Target.
The sequence of operations can be performed in Peer To Peer communications are…
Initiator Side:
 Configure NFC as initiator and scan for the targets in the field.
 Send data to the target.
 Release target.
Target Side:
 Configure NFC as target.
 Receive data from initiator.
 Send acknowledgement to initiator.
