When FD goes low (phone wrote to SRAM), MCU reads the 256-byte SRAM, parses a 6-byte command header, executes the command (pattern write, status query, etc.), and writes a response back to SRAM. The phone polls SRAM byte 0 for the 0xFF response marker.

Replace these with the mailbox polling loop. + +Extract a function to avoid duplicating the loop.

The mailbox loop needs to: +1. Hold NTAG5 ownership for polling/SRAM access +2. Release to LP5562 only when reprogramming is needed + +So the loop stays inline in `main.rs`.

In the mailbox loop we need NTAG5 most of the time but occasionally LP5562. We need to restructure to swap ownership when needed. + +**Better approach**: Keep NTAG5 as the primary owner. When LP5562 reprogramming is needed, release NTAG5, create LP5562, reprogram, release LP5562, recreate NTAG5. + +Replace the `Some(pat)` branch (lines 132-148) with: + +```rust +Some(pat) => { + // EEPROM pattern loaded — 3 fast blinks + blink(&mut led, &mut delay, 3, 80); + + // Load initial pattern (need LP5562) + { + let i2c = ntag.release(); + let mut lp = Lp5562::new(i2c, DEFAULT_ADDRESS); + if pattern::load_pattern(&mut lp, &pat, led_current, &mut delay).is_err() { + blink(&mut led, &mut delay, 10, 50); + } + // Return I2C to NTAG5 for mailbox + let i2c = lp.release(); + ntag = Ntag5Link::new(i2c, ntag5::DEFAULT_ADDRESS); + } + + // Mailbox polling loop + let mut mbox_state = MailboxState::new(); + loop { + delay.delay_ms(200u32); + if fd_pin.is_low() { + match ntag5::sram::process_command(&mut ntag, &mut mbox_state, &mut delay) { + Ok(true) => { + // Reload LP5562 from current EEPROM state + reload_lp5562(&mut ntag, &mut led, &mut delay); + } + _ => {} + } + } + } +} +``` + +And add a helper function before `main()`: + +```rust +/// Re-read active pattern from EEPROM and reprogram LP5562. +/// Temporarily swaps I2C ownership from NTAG5 to LP5562 and back. +fn reload_lp5562( + ntag: &mut Ntag5Link, + led: &mut bsp::Led0, + delay: &mut Delay, +) where + I2C: I2c, +{ + // Can't swap ownership through &mut — need a different approach +} +``` + +**The fundamental problem**: Rust's ownership model prevents swapping the I2C bus through `&mut Ntag5Link` because `release()` takes `self` by value. We need to restructure. + +**Solution**: Use `Option` and `Option` to allow swapping. OR, make both drivers borrow the I2C bus via `RefCell`. For `no_std` embedded, the simplest approach is to use raw I2C bus access and pass the bus directly: + +**Revised approach**: Make `Ntag5Link` and `Lp5562` hold `Option` internally, with `take()`/`give()` methods. But that's a bigger refactor. + +**Simplest approach**: Keep the current swap pattern but inline it. The mailbox loop holds the I2C bus directly and creates temporary driver instances: + +```rust +// After initial pattern load, keep I2C bus directly +let mut i2c = ntag.release(); // take bus back + +let mut mbox_state = MailboxState::new(); +loop { + delay.delay_ms(200u32); + if fd_pin.is_low() { + let mut ntag_tmp = Ntag5Link::new(i2c, ntag5::DEFAULT_ADDRESS); + let processed = ntag5::sram::process_command(&mut ntag_tmp, &mut mbox_state, &mut delay); + let should_reload = matches!(processed, Ok(true)); + + if should_reload { + // Read new active pattern while we still have ntag + let reload_data = read_active_pattern(&mut ntag_tmp); + i2c = ntag_tmp.release(); + + if let Some((pat, current)) = reload_data { + let mut lp = Lp5562::new(i2c, DEFAULT_ADDRESS); + let _ = pattern::load_pattern(&mut lp, &pat, current, &mut delay); + i2c = lp.release(); + } + } else { + i2c = ntag_tmp.release(); + } + } +} +``` + +This works — create temporary driver instances per iteration.

Verify the correct I2C address prefix from the NTP53x2 datasheet. + +### FD pin register +The `ED_FD_PIN_CFG` session register address and bit layout need verification against the NTP53x2 datasheet. The register controls both the ED (energy detect) and FD (field detect) pin behaviors. We want FD mode "SRAM write by RF complete." + +### Stack usage +`all_pat_data` in `handle_sync_end` and `recalculate_header_crc` is `9 × 112 = 1008 bytes` on the stack. SAMD21 has 32KB SRAM so this is fine, but be aware of nesting depth. + +### Binary size +Current firmware is ~6.4KB. SRAM protocol adds maybe 2-3KB of code.
