48     Should work but untested by me:
49     ===============================
50    
51     I would like to get these readers to perform test and validation and
52     move them in the supported list above. If you are one of the
53     manufacturers, please, contact me.

63     =============================================
64 rousseau 269
65 rousseau 1165 - C3PO LTC31 [8]
66     The reader works fine with Linux kernel 2.4 but does not with Linux
67     kernel 2.6. The ioctl() syscall returns EINVAL (Invalid argument)
68 rousseau 269
69 rousseau 1165
70 rousseau 321 Supported operating systems:
71     ============================
72    
73     - GNU/Linux (libusb 0.1.7)
74     - MacOS X/Darwin (libusb 0.1.8beta, CVS snapshot. See "Known problems")
75     to libusb)
76    
77    
78 rousseau 862 Debug informations:
79     ===================
80    
81     The driver uses the debug function provided by pcscd. So if pcscd sends
82     its debug to stdout (pcscd --foreground) then the CCID will also send
83     its debug to stdout. If pcscd sends its debug to syslog (by default)
84     then the CCID will also send its debug to syslog.
85    
86     You can change the debug level using the Info.plist configuraion file.
87     The Info.plist is installed, by default, in
88     /usr/local/pcsc/drivers/ifd-ccid.bundle/Contents/Info.plist
89    
90     The debug level is set in the ifdLogLevel field. It is a binary OR
91     combinaison of 4 different levels.
92     - 1: critical: important error messages
93     - 2: info: informative messages like what reader was detected
94     - 4: periodic: periodic info when pcscd test if a card is present (every
95     1/10 of a second)
96     - 8: comm: a dump of all the bytes exchanged between the host and the
97     reader
98    
99     By default the debug level is set to 3 (1 + 2) and correspond to the
100     critical and info levels.
101    
102     You have to restart the driver so it read the configuration file again
103     and use the new debug level value. To restart the driver you just need
104     to unplug all your CCID readers so the the driver is unloaded and then
105     replug your readers. You can also restart pcscd.
106    
107    
108 rousseau 321 Known problems:
109     ===============
110    
111 rousseau 1165 MacOSX libusb
112 rousseau 969 """""""""""""
113     There is a bug in libusb that crash the libusb library when you
114     unplug a reader and replug it in another USB socket. So if you
115     unplug a reader replug it in the same USB socket.

137    
138     History:
139     ========
140    
141 rousseau 1186 0.9.2 - 15 August 2004, Ludovic Rousseau
142     - T=1 TPDU code:
143     . the work on T=1 TPDU code was possible thanks to Gemplus
144     validation team who helped me test, debug and bring the code to
145     an EMV validation level. Thanks to Jérôme, Jean-Yves, Xavier and
146     the Gemplus readers department
147     . error code was not checked correctly
148     . avoid a (nearly) infinite loop when resynch are needed.
149     . correctly initialise an internal value to allow more than one
150     reader to work
151     - multi-slots readers
152     . add support for multi-slots readers. The only one I have is a
153     SCM Micro SCR 331-DI with a contact and a contactless interface.
154     The contactless interface may or may not work for you since the
155     reader uses proprietary (undocumented) commands.
156     - GemPC Twin serial reader
157     . perform a command (get the reader firmware) to be sure a GemPC
158     Twin (serial or pcmcia) reader is connected
159     . use a dynamic timeout when reading the serial port.
160     The first timeout used when detecting the reader is 2 seconds to
161     not wait too long if no reader is connected. Later timeouts are
162     set to 1 minute to allow long time APDU.
163     - use `pkg-config libpcsclite --cflags` to locate the pcsc-lite
164     header files
165     - use `pkg-config --print-errors --atleast-version=1.2.9-beta5 libpcsclite`
166     to test the pcsc-lite version
167     - code improvements thanks to the splint tool (http://www.splint.org/)
168    
169 rousseau 1018 0.9.1 - 1 July 2004, Ludovic Rousseau
170     - I forgot to define IFD_PARITY_ERROR in a .h file
171    
172 rousseau 1015 0.9.0 - 1 July 2004, Ludovic Rousseau
173     - The T=1 TPDU automata from Carlos Prados' Towitoko driver is very
174     limited and do not support error management mechanisms.
175     I then used the T=1 TPDU automata from OpenCT (OpenSC project).
176     This automata is much more powerful but still lacks a lot of error
177     management code.
178     I then added all the needed code to reach the quality level
179     requested by the EMV standard.
180     - add support for new readers:
181     . Advanced Card Systems ACR 38
182     . Cherry XX33
183     . Dell keyboard SK-3106
184     . Dell smart card reader keyboard
185     . SCR 333
186     - add support of multi procotol cards (T=0 and T=1)
187     - the debug level is now dynamic and set in the Info.plist file (no
188     need to recompile the driver any more)
189     - add support for the libusb naming scheme: usb:%04x/%04x:libusb:%s
190     - INSTALL: add a "configuring the driver for the serial reader
191     (GemPC Twin)" part
192     - use `pkg-config libpcsclite --variable=usbdropdir` so you do not
193     have to use --enable-usbdropdir=DIR or --enable-ccidtwindir=DIR
194     even if pcscd does not use the default /usr/local/pcsc/drivers
195     - add support of IOCTL_SMARTCARD_VENDOR_IFD_EXCHANGE and
196     IOCTL_SMARTCARD_VENDOR_VERIFY_PIN in IFDHControl()
197     - read ifdDriverOptions from Info.plist to limit the use of
198     IOCTL_SMARTCARD_VENDOR_IFD_EXCHANGE (idea from Peter Williams)
199     - provide an example of use of SCardControl()
200     IOCTL_SMARTCARD_VENDOR_IFD_EXCHANGE and
201     IOCTL_SMARTCARD_VENDOR_VERIFY_PIN in example/
202     - add a --enable-pcsclite option (default to yes) so that the driver
203     can be compiled for a different framework (one needing
204     tokenparser.l like Solaris)
205     - Reset action is power off and power on, not just power on
206     - use the include files from pcsc-lite
207     - add a mechanism to allow power on at 1.8V, 3V and then 5V as
208     specified by ISO 7816. We still use 5V for now to avoid problems
209     with non ISO compliant cards
210    
211 rousseau 703 0.4.1 - 14 February 2004, Ludovic Rousseau
212     - distribute missing files readers/supported_readers.txt and
213     src/create_Info_plist.pl
214     'make install' failed because of this.
215    
216 rousseau 697 0.4.0 - 13 February 2004, Ludovic Rousseau
217     - support of T=1 with TPDU readers. A lot of the T=1 code comes from
218     Carlos Prados towitoko driver.
219     My code is GNU GPL, his code is GNU LGPL so the global driver is
220     GNU GPL
221     - PPS negotiation if the reader does not do it automatically
222     - add support for the Silitek SK-3105 keyboard. It's a USB device
223     with multiple interfaces
224     - use the create_Info_plist.pl script to generate the installed
225     Info.plist from an Info.plist template and a list of supported
226     readers. The Info.plist was too "complex" to maintain by hand
227     since it now contains 11 entries
228     - add support of IFDHCreateChannelByName to avoid wrong reader
229     enumeration. This is not complete if you have multiple _identical_
230     readers. You need to use a > 1.2.0 pcsc-lite version (not yet
231     released at that time)
232     - build but do not install the serial ccidtwin driver by default
233     since it is useless on computers without a serial port or without
234     this reader for example.
235     - read and write timeouts are not symmetric. write timout can be
236     shorter since the reader and card is not supposed to do anything
237     before receiving (write) a command
238     - do not try to find usb.h and other libusb files if
239     --disable-libusb is used. Needed if you only want to build the
240     serial driver. Thanks to Niki Waibel for the patch
241     - add a --enable-ccidtwindir argument to ./configure to specify the
242     serial GemPC Twin installation directory
243     - debug and code improvements and simplifications
244    
245 rousseau 552 0.3.2 - 4 November 2003, Ludovic Rousseau
246     - src/commands.c: correct a stupid bug that occurs with an APDU with
247     2 bytes response.
248     - Info.plist: add SPR 532 in list of supported readers
249     - parse.c: do not exit if the InterfaceClass is 0xFF (proprietary).
250     It is the case with old readers manufactured before the final
251     release of the CCID specs.
252     - move LTC31 reader from unsupported to supported reader list. It
253     was my f ault since in used odd INS byte in my test applet and odd
254     INS bytes are forbidden by ISO 7816-4 ch. 5.4.2 Instruction byte.
255     Thanks to Josep Moné s Teixidor for pointing the problem.
256     - src/commands.c: comment out the automatic GET RESPONSE part. I
257     don't think it should be in the driver. Maybe in pcscd instead?
258    
259 rousseau 467 0.3.1 - 23 September 2003, Ludovic Rouseau
260     - add --enable-multi-thread (enabled by default) for thread safe
261     support an APDU multiplexing. You will need pcsc-lite-1.2.0-rc3 or
262     above to use this feature.
263     - add --enable-libusb=PATH option is your libusb is not installed in
264     /usr or /usr/local
265     - honor DESTDIR in install rules (closes [ #300110 ]). Thanks to
266     Ville Skyttä for the patch.
267     - src/ccid.c: do not switch the GemPC Key and GemPC Twin in APDU
268     mode since it also swicth in EMV mode and may not work with non
269     EMV cards
270     - src/ccid_serial.c: complete reimplementation of the Twin serial
271     protocol using a finite state automata (code much simpler)
272    
273 rousseau 423 0.3.0 - 10 September 2003, Ludovic Rousseau
274     - support of GemPC Twin connected to a serial port. Thanks to Niki
275     W. Waibel for a working prototype.
276     - support of auto voltage at power up if the reader support it
277     instead of forcing a 5V in all cases.
278     - support of APDU mode instead of just TPDU if the reader support
279     it. Thanks to Jean-Luc Giraud for the idea and inspiration I got
280     from his "concurrent" driver.
281 rousseau 425 - support of "time request" from the card.
282 rousseau 423 - parse: new indentation for more readability of supported features.
283     - switch the GemPC Key and GemPC Twin in APDU mode since they
284     support it but do not announce it in the dwFeatures.
285     - new build process using autoconf/automake.
286    
287 rousseau 342 0.2.0 - 26 August 2003, Ludovic Rousseau
288     - Works under MacOS X
289     - Info.plist: use an <array></array> for the alias enumeration
290     - Makefile rework for *BSD and MacOS X
291    
292 rousseau 273 0.1.0 - 13 August 2003, Ludovic Rousseau
293     - First public release
