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

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

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