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

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