INSTALLATION PROCEDURE ====================== Installation from source: """"""""""""""""""""""""" get the ccid-x.y.z.tar.gz archive and do: $ tar xzvf ccid-x.y.z.tar.gz $ cd ccid-x.y.z $ ./configure $ make $ sudo make install By default pcscd and my ccid driver use /usr/local/pcsc/drivers/ as directory for hotplug drivers. The ./configure script try to get the directory used by pcscd using 'pkg-config libpcsclite --variable=usbdropdir' So you should not have to use the --enable-usbdropdir=DIR argument. libusb not found ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If the ./configure script says something like: configure: error: usb.h not found, use --enable-libusb=PATH You should use --enable-libusb=PATH to tell ./configure where to find the usb.h and libusb.so files. The ./configure script will use PATH/include/ to search for usb.h and PATH/lib/ to search for libusb.so building serial reader driver ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A serial CCID reader can also be connected on a serial port. By default the serial driver is not built. You must explicitely do: $ ./configure --enable-twinserial $ make # make install builing serial reader driver only ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It is possible to generate the driver for the GemPC Twin using serial communication only (for example on an embedded system without USB). Just do: $ ./configure --enable-twinserial --disable-libusb $ make # make install By default ./configure try to get the directory used by pcscd using 'pkg-config libpcsclite --variable=usbdropdir' and add '/serial'. You should not have to use --enable-ccidtwindir=DIR to specify the target directory to use. configuring the driver for the serial reader ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You have to create or edit the file /etc/reader.conf. The file should contain something like: # Gemalto reader with serial communication # - n is the serial port to use n in [0..3] # - reader is the reader name. It is needed for multi-slot readers. # Possible reader values are: # GemCorePOSPro # GemCoreSIMPro # GemCoreSIMPro2 # GemPCPinPad # GemPCTwin (default value) # example: /dev/ttyS0:GemPCPinPad #DEVICENAME /dev/ttySn[:reader] #FRIENDLYNAME "GemPCTwin serial" #LIBPATH /usr/lib/pcsc/drivers/serial/libccidtwin.so FRIENDLYNAME "GemPC Twin serial" DEVICENAME /dev/ttyS0 LIBPATH /usr/lib/pcsc/drivers/serial/libccidtwin.so You will have to adapt the library path to your configuration. By default the GemPC Twin serial reader parameters are loaded by the driver, if you use a GemPC PinPad, a GemCore POS Pro, a GemCore SIM Pro or GemCore SIM Pro 2 (or IDBridge CR30) you have to indicate it in the DEVICENAME field. Supported values are: - GemCorePOSPro for GemCore POS Pro - GemCoreSIMPro for GemCore SIM Pro - GemCoreSIMPro2 for IDBridge CR30 - GemPCPinPad for GemPC PinPad - GemPCTwin for GemPC Twin (default value) You will then have something like: DEVICENAME /dev/ttyS0:GemPCPinPad /dev/ttyS0 (DEVICENAME field) is the first serial port under Linux (known as COM1 under DOS/Windows). Of course if your reader is connected to another serial port you have to adapt that. Binary installation: """""""""""""""""""" Contact your distribution support. Test procedure: """"""""""""""" - check the reader is supported by the driver. Get your reader USB identification using the lsusb(1) command: $ lsusb [...] Bus 001 Device 048: ID 08e6:4433 Gemplus Look for 08E6 (ifdVendorID) and 4433 (ifdProductID) in /usr/local/pcsc/drivers/ifd-ccid.bundle/Contents/Info.plist Of course your numbers will be different. If you can't find them add them (if you know what you do) and/or mail me. - (re)start pcscd with debug on stdout. Simply do 'pcscd --debug stdout' (you will need to have root priviledges). And look for: [...] readerfactory.c:1319 RFInitializeReader: Attempting startup of ReaderName readerfactory.c:1061 RFBindFunctions: Loading IFD Handler 2.0 ifdhandler.c:76 Entering IFDHCreateChannel (lun: 0) ccid_usb.c:131 Manufacturer: Ludovic Rousseau (ludovic.rousseau@free.fr) ccid_usb.c:139 ProductString: Generic CCID reader v0.1.0 ccid_usb.c:143 Copyright: This driver is protected by terms of the GNU General Public License version 2, or (at your option) any later version. ccid_usb.c:223 Found Vendor/Product: 08E6/4433 (GemPC433 SL) ccid_usb.c:224 Using USB bus/device: 001/047 If you don't see this the driver is not installed correctly or your reader is not yet supported.
