Drivers to use with readers using the TLP protocol under Linux and Windows.  
 

General FAQ:

 


Q: Why is the ATR not correct?

The TLP protocol does not directly send back the ATR given by the
smart card. The Tlp protocol always send the 4 bytes TA1, TB1, TC1,
TD1. If one of these bytes is not send by the smart card the TLP
protocol insert a 0x00 instead.


Q: What is the maximum response size?

Due to TLP limitations, it is not possible to retrieve more than 252
bytes from the card.


Q: Does the library support T=1 protocol

No. Not yet. Only the T=0 protocol is supported.


Q: The device /dev/screader does not exists

The library uses /dev/screader by default.

If you do not have a Debian distribution you must create it by hand.

$ cd /dev
$ ln -s ttyS0 screader
$ chmod 0666 /dev/ttyS0

If your smartcard reader is not on ttyS0/COM1 you must use the
right device (ttyS1, ttyS2, etc.).
