RFID

SCL 3711

• 13.5 MHz, Based on PN533
• Works with libnfc, lsnfc, mfoc, m
• UID emulation work only if start with 0x08.

Mac Setup

• Mac OS X 10.4
• PCSC Lite
• pyscard
• Omnikey Reader
• pyserial - pyserial download
• pycrypto
• pcsc tool

No support for the RFID part yet, the smart card (with contact) works ok.

EEE Setup

• EEE pc 401 with either Xandros or Debian EEE
• Debian pcscd package
• Debian pcsc-tools package
• Added new source for APT:

eeepc:/home/user/> more /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://update.eeepc.asus.com/p701 p701 main
deb http://update.eeepc.asus.com/p701/en p701 main
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian lenny main
eeepc:/home/user/> 

• Installed driver from Omnikey reader

ifdokrfid_lnx-2.6.0.tar.gz

• Installed swig for pyscard install

apt-get install swig

• Installed python-dev for pyscard install

apt-get install python-dev

• Linked PCSC includes in main location

ln -s /usr/local/include/PCSC /usr/include/

driver location problem

ln -s /usr/local/pcsc/drivers/ifdokrfid_lnx-2.6.0.bundle /usr/lib/pcsc/drivers

Debian EEE Setup

Install problem

There's a big problem with the install is that you SHOULD NOT install the libhal support which is compiled by default in the debian packages.

When you have libhal support, here is what you get:

00000301 hotplug_libhal.c:395:HPAddDevice() Failed adding USB device: usb_device_76b_5321_noserial_if0

In order to get rid of that problem, you must recompile pcsc-lite without the support for LIBHAL. Other problem then arise with for example the fact that the pcsc-lite then doesn't create the /usr/local/pcsc/drivers or /usr/lib/pcsc/drivers directories.

The solution I found was to install the debian packages pcscd and pcsc-omnikey and then to delete the /usr/sbin/pcscd and overwrite it with a compiled version without the libhal support. There are quite some options to give to the ./configure for this, here they are:

./configure --disable-libhal --enable-libusb --enable-usbdropdir=/usr/lib/pcsc/drivers/ --enable-ipcdir=/var/run/pcscd/ --prefix=/usr/ --enable-runpid=/var/run/pcscd/pcscd.pid

Then you just run pcscd:

# /usr/sbin/pcscd -f -d -a

And you'll get a better result ;-)
