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

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.

140    
141     History:
142     ========
143    
144 rousseau 1400 0.9.3 - 14 March 2005, Ludovic Rousseau
145     - change the licence from GNU GPL to GNU Lesser GPL (LGPL)
146     - add support for ACS ACR 38, Kobil KAAN Base, Kobil KAAN Advanced,
147     Kobil KAAN SIM III, Kobil KAAN mIDentity, SCM Micro SCR 331,
148     SCM Micro SCR 331-DI, SCM Micro SCR 335, SCM Micro SCR 3310,
149     SCM Micro SCR 532, Cherry XX44 readers
150     - improve communication speed with readers featuring "Automatic PPS
151     made by the CCID"
152     - switch the Cherry xx33 reader in ISO mode if power up in EMV mode
153     fails.
154     - add support of character level readers. Thanks to O2Micro for the
155     patch
156     - add support for the O2Micro OZ776S reader but the reader firmware
157     is still bogus
158     - check firmware version to avoid firmwares with bugs. You can still
159     use a bogus firmware by setting DRIVER_OPTION_USE_BOGUS_FIRMWARE
160     in Info.plist
161     - some minor bugs removed
162    
163 rousseau 1186 0.9.2 - 15 August 2004, Ludovic Rousseau
164     - T=1 TPDU code:
165     . the work on T=1 TPDU code was possible thanks to Gemplus
166     validation team who helped me test, debug and bring the code to
167     an EMV validation level. Thanks to Jérôme, Jean-Yves, Xavier and
168     the Gemplus readers department
169     . error code was not checked correctly
170     . avoid a (nearly) infinite loop when resynch are needed.
171     . correctly initialise an internal value to allow more than one
172     reader to work
173     - multi-slots readers
174     . add support for multi-slots readers. The only one I have is a
175     SCM Micro SCR 331-DI with a contact and a contactless interface.
176     The contactless interface may or may not work for you since the
177     reader uses proprietary (undocumented) commands.
178     - GemPC Twin serial reader
179     . perform a command (get the reader firmware) to be sure a GemPC
180     Twin (serial or pcmcia) reader is connected
181     . use a dynamic timeout when reading the serial port.
182     The first timeout used when detecting the reader is 2 seconds to
183     not wait too long if no reader is connected. Later timeouts are
184     set to 1 minute to allow long time APDU.
185     - use `pkg-config libpcsclite --cflags` to locate the pcsc-lite
186     header files
187     - use `pkg-config --print-errors --atleast-version=1.2.9-beta5 libpcsclite`
188     to test the pcsc-lite version
189     - code improvements thanks to the splint tool (http://www.splint.org/)
190    
191 rousseau 1018 0.9.1 - 1 July 2004, Ludovic Rousseau
192     - I forgot to define IFD_PARITY_ERROR in a .h file
193    
194 rousseau 1015 0.9.0 - 1 July 2004, Ludovic Rousseau
195     - The T=1 TPDU automata from Carlos Prados' Towitoko driver is very
196     limited and do not support error management mechanisms.
197     I then used the T=1 TPDU automata from OpenCT (OpenSC project).
198     This automata is much more powerful but still lacks a lot of error
199     management code.
200     I then added all the needed code to reach the quality level
201     requested by the EMV standard.
202     - add support for new readers:
203     . Advanced Card Systems ACR 38
204     . Cherry XX33
205     . Dell keyboard SK-3106
206     . Dell smart card reader keyboard
207     . SCR 333
208     - add support of multi procotol cards (T=0 and T=1)
209     - the debug level is now dynamic and set in the Info.plist file (no
210     need to recompile the driver any more)
211     - add support for the libusb naming scheme: usb:%04x/%04x:libusb:%s
212     - INSTALL: add a "configuring the driver for the serial reader
213     (GemPC Twin)" part
214     - use `pkg-config libpcsclite --variable=usbdropdir` so you do not
215     have to use --enable-usbdropdir=DIR or --enable-ccidtwindir=DIR
216     even if pcscd does not use the default /usr/local/pcsc/drivers
217     - add support of IOCTL_SMARTCARD_VENDOR_IFD_EXCHANGE and
218     IOCTL_SMARTCARD_VENDOR_VERIFY_PIN in IFDHControl()
219     - read ifdDriverOptions from Info.plist to limit the use of
220     IOCTL_SMARTCARD_VENDOR_IFD_EXCHANGE (idea from Peter Williams)
221     - provide an example of use of SCardControl()
222     IOCTL_SMARTCARD_VENDOR_IFD_EXCHANGE and
223     IOCTL_SMARTCARD_VENDOR_VERIFY_PIN in example/
224     - add a --enable-pcsclite option (default to yes) so that the driver
225     can be compiled for a different framework (one needing
226     tokenparser.l like Solaris)
227     - Reset action is power off and power on, not just power on
228     - use the include files from pcsc-lite
229     - add a mechanism to allow power on at 1.8V, 3V and then 5V as
230     specified by ISO 7816. We still use 5V for now to avoid problems
231     with non ISO compliant cards
232    
233 rousseau 703 0.4.1 - 14 February 2004, Ludovic Rousseau
234     - distribute missing files readers/supported_readers.txt and
235     src/create_Info_plist.pl
236     'make install' failed because of this.
237    
238 rousseau 697 0.4.0 - 13 February 2004, Ludovic Rousseau
239     - support of T=1 with TPDU readers. A lot of the T=1 code comes from
240     Carlos Prados towitoko driver.
241     My code is GNU GPL, his code is GNU LGPL so the global driver is
242     GNU GPL
243     - PPS negotiation if the reader does not do it automatically
244     - add support for the Silitek SK-3105 keyboard. It's a USB device
245     with multiple interfaces
246     - use the create_Info_plist.pl script to generate the installed
247     Info.plist from an Info.plist template and a list of supported
248     readers. The Info.plist was too "complex" to maintain by hand
249     since it now contains 11 entries
250     - add support of IFDHCreateChannelByName to avoid wrong reader
251     enumeration. This is not complete if you have multiple _identical_
252     readers. You need to use a > 1.2.0 pcsc-lite version (not yet
253     released at that time)
254     - build but do not install the serial ccidtwin driver by default
255     since it is useless on computers without a serial port or without
256     this reader for example.
257     - read and write timeouts are not symmetric. write timout can be
258     shorter since the reader and card is not supposed to do anything
259     before receiving (write) a command
260     - do not try to find usb.h and other libusb files if
261     --disable-libusb is used. Needed if you only want to build the
262     serial driver. Thanks to Niki Waibel for the patch
263     - add a --enable-ccidtwindir argument to ./configure to specify the
264     serial GemPC Twin installation directory
265     - debug and code improvements and simplifications
266    
267 rousseau 552 0.3.2 - 4 November 2003, Ludovic Rousseau
268     - src/commands.c: correct a stupid bug that occurs with an APDU with
269     2 bytes response.
270     - Info.plist: add SPR 532 in list of supported readers
271     - parse.c: do not exit if the InterfaceClass is 0xFF (proprietary).
272     It is the case with old readers manufactured before the final
273     release of the CCID specs.
274     - move LTC31 reader from unsupported to supported reader list. It
275     was my f ault since in used odd INS byte in my test applet and odd
276     INS bytes are forbidden by ISO 7816-4 ch. 5.4.2 Instruction byte.
277     Thanks to Josep Moné s Teixidor for pointing the problem.
278     - src/commands.c: comment out the automatic GET RESPONSE part. I
279     don't think it should be in the driver. Maybe in pcscd instead?
280    
281 rousseau 467 0.3.1 - 23 September 2003, Ludovic Rouseau
282     - add --enable-multi-thread (enabled by default) for thread safe
283     support an APDU multiplexing. You will need pcsc-lite-1.2.0-rc3 or
284     above to use this feature.
285     - add --enable-libusb=PATH option is your libusb is not installed in
286     /usr or /usr/local
287     - honor DESTDIR in install rules (closes [ #300110 ]). Thanks to
288     Ville Skyttä for the patch.
289     - src/ccid.c: do not switch the GemPC Key and GemPC Twin in APDU
290     mode since it also swicth in EMV mode and may not work with non
291     EMV cards
292     - src/ccid_serial.c: complete reimplementation of the Twin serial
293     protocol using a finite state automata (code much simpler)
294    
295 rousseau 423 0.3.0 - 10 September 2003, Ludovic Rousseau
296     - support of GemPC Twin connected to a serial port. Thanks to Niki
297     W. Waibel for a working prototype.
298     - support of auto voltage at power up if the reader support it
299     instead of forcing a 5V in all cases.
300     - support of APDU mode instead of just TPDU if the reader support
301     it. Thanks to Jean-Luc Giraud for the idea and inspiration I got
302     from his "concurrent" driver.
303 rousseau 425 - support of "time request" from the card.
304 rousseau 423 - parse: new indentation for more readability of supported features.
305     - switch the GemPC Key and GemPC Twin in APDU mode since they
306     support it but do not announce it in the dwFeatures.
307     - new build process using autoconf/automake.
308    
309 rousseau 342 0.2.0 - 26 August 2003, Ludovic Rousseau
310     - Works under MacOS X
311     - Info.plist: use an <array></array> for the alias enumeration
312     - Makefile rework for *BSD and MacOS X
313    
314 rousseau 273 0.1.0 - 13 August 2003, Ludovic Rousseau
315     - First public release
