|
This is a middleware to access a smart card using SCard API (PC/SC) Its purpose
|
2010-05-11 20:02:05 +02:00
|
|
|
is to provide a Windows(R) SCard interface in a very small form factor for
|
2010-05-11 22:26:57 +02:00
|
|
|
communicating to smart cards and readers.

Compiling with "DEBUGATR=1 ./pcsc-lite.SlackBuild" enables ATR parsing debug

output messages. Compiling with "APIDOC=1 ./pcsc-lite.SlackBuild" produces
|
|
|
|
|
API .pdf documentation (mainly intended for developers).

pcsc-lite uses libusb for smart-card reader's detection. If you want to
|
|
|
|
|
avoid usb polling (according to upstream's advice), you can compile with
|
|
|
|
|
"HALD=1 ./pcsc-lite.SlackBuild" in order to use libhal for detecting your
|
|
|
|
|
reader.

NOTE: drivers are not included and must be compiled and installed separately.
|
|
|
|
|
See DRIVERS file in pcsc-lite's doc directory for more information on getting
|
|
|
|
|
and installing specific drivers. pcsc-lite is compiled with the
|
|
|
|
|
--enable-usbdropdir=<libdir>/pcsc/drivers flag -- this directory will be the
|
|
|
|
|
destination for usb readers' drivers (ccid, cardman, and others).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For serial and pcmcia readers only, it is necessary to edit files in
|
|
|
|
|
/etc/reader.conf.d/ and run "/usr/sbin/update-reader.conf".

|
To start PC/SC-lite daemon, run "/etc/rc.d/rc.pcscd start".
|
|
|
|
|
For pcmcia readers, this daemon should be started after rc.pcmcia - this is
|
|
|
|
|
most easily accomplished by adding the following to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
|
|
|
|
|
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.pcscd ]; then
|
|
|
|
|
/etc/rc.d/rc.pcscd start
|
|
|
|
|
fi
