Introduction
The 73S1217F Evaluation Board Lite is a turnkey smart card reader that can be used in conjunction with
any Windows
®
or Linux
®
based host microprocessor-based system that has a USB port (USB host, Full
Speed 2.0).
When plugged into a system with the appropriate driver loaded, the 73S1217F Evaluation Board Lite can
be used as a smart card reader. Any host application can operate the smart card reader through the
PC/SC commands to read and communicate with asynchronous smart cards, following T-0 and T-1
protocols, in compliance with ISO7816-3 and EMV 4.1 standards.
System Requirements
• A PC running Microsoft Windows XP, or a workstation running Linux, with a USB port.
• 24 megabytes of disk storage for the application and documentation.
Package Contents
• A 73S1217F Evaluation Board Lite pre-loaded with the Teridian CCID-USB firmware.
• A CD containing the CCID drivers, Teridian host applications, reader firmware, and documentation.
• USB cable, A-B, male/male, 2 meters.
Default Setup
The 73S1217F Evaluation Board Lite ships with a default configuration suitable for use as a turnkey
Transparent Smart Card Reader using CCID over a USB 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 is referenced assuming this default configuration.
Refer to the 73S1217F Evaluation Board Lite User Guide for details on alternate hardware configurations
and uses.
Demonstration Host Application
Included on the CD is a demonstration application named CCID-USB.vshost.exe located in the
“x:\yyy\12xxF Vz.zz\CCID USB Host App C#\App\Bin” directory (where x refers to the drive, yyy refers to
the directory the installation .zip files was expanded to and z.zz is the latest version of the firmware
release). This is a host application that allows:
• Smart card activation and deactivation, in ISO or EMV mode.
• Smart card APDU commands to be exchanged with the smart card inserted in the board.
• Starting a test sequence in order to test and evaluate the board performance against an EMV test
environment.
THIS EVALUATION SYSTEM IS ESD SENSITIVE! ESD PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE
TAKEN WHEN HANDLING THE BOARD!
