SOSSE on ATMega163 progress

I have complied SOSSE (Simple Operating System for Smartcard Education) for ATMega 163 with small changes.

Makefile:

- Replace "ARCH=atmega161" with "ARCH=atmega163".

- Replace "AS=avr-as" with "AS=avr-gcc -c -mmcu=$(ARCH) -x assembler-with-cpp".

commands.h:

- Replace "io.h" with "avr/io.h".

config.h:

- Replace "__AVR_ATmega161__" with "__AVR_ATmega163__".

hal.h:

- Replace "io.h" with "avr/io.h".

- Replace "oub(a, b)" with "b = a".

- Add "#define eeprom_rb eeprom_read_byte".

- Add "#define eeprom_wb eeprom_write_byte".

types.h:

- Replace "pgmspace.h" with "avr/pgmspace.h".

- Copy tea-atmega161.S as tea-atmega163.S.

I wrote sosse.bin and eedata.bin onto ATMega Card ATMega163+24C256, and got ATR (Answer To Reset).

However, I could not access to the card with APDU command.

The card seems to be hanged up... Umm.

Access to ACOS5 card with ACR-38U successfully

Thanks to a nice simple software by f22_storm-san, I could access to my smart card by simple APDU commands with ACR-38U.

The software is SCardDemo-Basic at CodeProject - How to access SmartCards simply and effectively - at http://www.codeproject.com/KB/system/Smartcard.aspx.

The software is REALLY EFFECTIVE ! :-D

Source code is also provided. Ah, how wonderful open source world.

I'm very grad to take a step forward.

Now, I trying to implement SOSSE onto ATMega163.

Problems of programming with ACR-38U

I have not yet developed control software for reading with ACR-38U.

There are some problems, so I write down these things to put matters right.

1) PC/SC driver is provided by ACS.

The reader is able to be detected on Windows 7 with the driver.

(It is nice that a driver for 64-bit is also provided.)

2) There is not any resource for programming in ACOS5 SDK.

The sdk includes some tools for managing ACOS5 cards.

There is no sample code to contact with smart card using APDU.

3) Missing header file

The API manual denotes functions of control API for ACR-38U, and the API requires a header file acr38.h.

However, it couldn't be found in ACOS5 SDK CD, ACS web site, and other web sites.

Why... orz

I wonder that the header file is in ACR-38U SDK.

So, there are some solutions; 1) Buy ACR-38U SDK (about 100 $), and 2) Investigate how to access with .Net Framework and PC/SC interface.

I trying .Net Framework PC/SC sample code, but I couldn't access correctly to an ACOS5 card.

I think that the function of the card might be not enough for supporting PC/SC.

Ok, I am going to investigate PC/SC.

Smart Card Reader

I get ACR-38U smart card reader for testing Funcard ATMega163.

ACR-38U supports Windows 7, and is able to be controlled using API.

I plan to test the reader with ACOS5 card using ACS utilities, and then develop C# software that accesses to ACOS5 card by Application Protocol Data Unit (APDU).

But, now I have a problem that I couldn't install the ACS utility on my PC on Macosx.

It is because the utility disk cannot be set on my super dvd drive.

The drive supports only 12 cm CD, but the size of the disk is 8 cm.

It is big surprise that the nice SUPER drive cannot read 8 cm CD, while it can burn double layered DVD-R. Oh no.

Use Infinity USB Unlimited on Windows 7

Infinity USB Unlimited cannot detect a programmer with user-mode on Windows 7.

It can access to the programmer with "Run as Administrator".

It works fine on Parallels Desktop and Macosx 10.6 !

Now I can start developing cryptographic modules on ATMega163 smart card.

Wahoo :-D
