N2 Elite

N2 Elite is sold as a game cheating product, called previously Amiiqo, an name probably too close to the original targeted game Amiibo.
I'm not interested at all in its gaming aspects but it's primarily a (multiple) NTAG215 emulator and in that respect, I'm very curious about that product :)

Intro

It's a small round passive device with one button. It can emulate up to 200 NTAG215 and can be programmed via an Android app or, if you buy their additional reader, via a PC application: N2 Manager for Windows or Mac.

Credits: I heard about it by reading a 3-page article of Patrick Gueulle in the French revue Le Virus Informatique #28. In that article, the author revealed how the emulator could be used to emulate any 7-byte UID or even a 4-byte UID (we'll come to that later) and he's providing two programs written in Basic; apparently Patrick remained true to himself ;)

Hardware

Device was sold previously under the name Amiiqo, and they insist this is the same hardware as the N2 Elite. Nevertheless there are apparently two revisions of the product:

  • V1, preloaded with 10 amiibo figurines
  • V2, empty, and an alien face printed on the PCB

I got a V2.

Patrick Gueulle mentions the QFN24 chip has a mark "SX3" but mine is completely black. Under the microscope he found two references on the die: "G4830H001I" and "DI 503 03".

Traces

Let's trace some transactions between the Android app and the device.
