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

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