Introduction
The 73S1210F Evaluation Board is a turnkey serial smart card reader development kit for the efficient
evaluation and development of stand-alone solutions. The board provides two card interfaces. The
board can be used in conjunction with any Windows
®
XP host system that has an RS-232 port. The host
application can access the board through the Teridian Pseudo-CCID (PCCID) commands to communicate
with asynchronous smart cards, following T-0 and T-1 protocols, in compliance with ISO7816-3 and EMV
4.1 standards.
For details about use of this development board in embedded applications (i.e. platforms other than PC
Windows XP), refer to the 73S12xxF Pseudo-CCID Host Application Guide (UG_12xxF_052) or contact
Teridian support.
System Requirements
• A PC running Microsoft ®
Windows XP and equipped with a serial port.
• Eight megabytes of disk storage for the Teridian Exerciser application and documentation.
Package Contents
• A 73S1217F/1210F Evaluation Board populated with a 73S1210F and pre-loaded with the Teridian
Pseudo-CCID firmware.
• A CD containing the Exerciser application generic host driver and documents.
• RS-232 Serial cable, Female/Male, 2 meters.
• A 5V DC power supply.
Default Setup
The 73S1210F Evaluation Board ships with a default configuration suitable for use as a turnkey
Transparent Smart Card Reader using a Pseudo-CCID over serial connection to communicate with a host
PC application. The board’s hardware and firmware are pre-configured by Teridian to work in this state
and the information in this document assumes this default configuration. Refer to the 73S1210
Evaluation Board User Guide (UG_1217F_035) for details on alternate hardware configurations and uses.
Software Installation on Windows XP
Follow these steps using a PC running Windows XP:
• Extract “PCCID V y.yy Release.zip” (where y.yy is the latest version of the firmware release).
o Create an install directory. For example: “C:\TSC\”.
o Unzip “PCCID V y.yy Release.zip” to the just created folder. All applications and documentation
needed to run the board with a Windows PC will be loaded to this folder.
• Connect the Serial cable between the host system and the board.
• Plug the supplied adapter into the 5V DC jack on the board.
 Press the ON/OFF button once. The power LED D8 should turn on.
• At this point the application is now installed and the development board is ready to use. The provided
host application or any other host application can now be launched from Windows XP to access the
smart card reader.
THIS EVALUATION SYSTEM IS ESD SENSITIVE! ESD PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE
TAKEN WHEN HANDLING THE BOARD!
