Getting Started: Running the “Device – CCID

1) Before attaching the PIC18F87J50 PIM to the HPC Explorer board, insure that the processor selector switch (S3) is in the “ICE” position as seen in the image below. Failure to do so will result in difficulties in getting the PIC18F87J50 to sit properly on the HPC Explorer.

2) Short JP4 on the PIC18F87J50 PIM. This allows the demo board to be powered through bus power.

3) Short JP1 such that the “R” and “U” options are shorted.

4) Before inserting PIC18F87J50/PIC18F46J50 PIM into the HPC Explorer board, remove all the attached cables from both the boards. Be careful while inserting the PIM into HPC board. Insure that no pins are bent or damaged during the process. Also insure that the PIM is not shifted in any direction and that all of the headers are properly aligned.

5) Insert the J4 port of SC (Smart/Sim Card) PICTail Board to the J3 port of HPC Explorer board. Make sure that the Smart Card Connector is facing towards the HPC Explorer board. Insert the Smart Card in SC PICTail Board.

Configuration 2: PIC18F46J50 Full Speed USB Demo Board + HPC Explorer

1) Before attaching the PIC18F46J50 PIM to the HPC Explorer board, insure that the processor selector switch (S3) is in the “ICE” position as seen in the image below. Failure to do so will result in difficulties in getting the PIC18F46J50 to sit properly on the HPC Explorer.

2) Short JP3 to allow the board to be powered from the USB

3) Before connecting the PIM to HPC Explorer, remove all attached cables from both boards. Connect the PIM to the HPC Explorer board. Be careful when connecting the boards to insure that no pins are bent or damaged during the process. Also insure that the PIM is not shifted in any direction and that all of the headers are properly aligned.

4) Insert the J4 port of SC (Smart/Sim Card) PICTail Board to the J3 port of HPC Explorer board. Make sure that the Smart Card Connector is facing towards the HPC Explorer board. Insert the Smart Card in SC PICTail Board.

Configuration 3: Explorer 16

1) Before attaching the PIM to the Explorer 16 board, insure that the processor selector switch (S2) is in the “PIM” position as seen in the image below.

2) Short the J7 jumper to the “PIC24” setting

3) Before connecting the PIM to the Explorer 16 board, remove all attached cables from both boards. Connect the PIM to the Explorer 16 board. Be careful when connecting the boards to insure that no pins are bent or damaged during the process. Also insure that the PIM is not shifted in any direction and that all of the headers are properly aligned.

3a) If using the PIC24FJ64GB004 PIM, please insure that the programming port switch is switched in the PGX1 direction.

4) On the USB PICTail Plus board, short jumper JP1. Remove all other shorts on the board.

5) Connect the USB PICTail Plus board to either of the female PICTail Plus connectors or on the card edge connector (J9) at the edge of the Explorer 16 board.

6) Short JP1 to SRC1 (i.e. RD1) or SRC2 (i.e. RB15) based upon the smart card clock pin configured in the firmware:

If using PIC24FJ256GB110 PIM short JP1 between CLK and SRC2 (i.e. RB15).

If using PIC32MX460F512L PIM or PIC32MX795F512L PIM, short JP1 between CLK and SRC1 (i.e. RD1).

7) Insert the J2 port of SC (Smart/Sim Card) PICTail card into J5 port of Explorer 16 board. Make sure that the Smart Card Connector is facing towards the Explorer 16 board. Insert the Smart Card in SC PICTail board.

Configuration 4: Low Pin Count USB Development Kit 1 8

1) Make sure J12 of LPC board is left open. One side of J4 port pins of the SC (Smart/Sim Card) PICTail Board match with the J11 port of LPC board. Insert the matching side of J4 port of SC PICTail board into the J11 port of LPC board. Make sure that the Smart Card Connector is facing towards the LPC board. Insert the Smart Card in SC PICTail board.

1) Short Tx & Rx line of the UART at J13 port using a wire and connect it to I/O pin of SC PICTail board.

2) Connect RB6 (of J13 port) to “Card Present” signal pin of SC PICTail board.

Configuration 5: PICDEM FS USB

1) The Jumper JP11 needs to be open in this board. In some revision of the board it may necessary to cut the PCB track that is shorting the jumper.

2) Insert the J2 port of SC (Smart/Sim Card) PICTail card into J3 port of PICDEM FSUSB board as per the pin configuration. Insert the Smart Card in SC PICTail board.

Firmware:

To run this project, you will need to load the corresponding firmware into the devices. There are two methods available for loading the demos: Precompiled demos and source code projects.

Precompiled Demos are available in the “<Install Directory>\USB – Precompiled Demos” folders. Each demo should be prefaced with the hardware platform it is compiled for. Select the file that matches the hardware that you have and the demo that you want to run. For more information about how to load a precompiled project, please see the “Getting Started – Loading a precompiled demo” guide.

The source code for this demo is available in the “<Install Directory>\Microchip Solutions\USB Device - CCID - Smart Card Reader” directory. In this directory you will find all of the user level source and header files as well as project and workspace files for each of the hardware platforms. Find the project (*.mcp) or workspace (*.mcw) file that corresponds to the hardware platform you wish to test. Compile and program the demo code into the hardware platform. For more help on how to compile and program projects, please refer to the MPLAB® IDE help available through the help menu of MPLAB (Help->Topics…->MPLAB IDE).

Please note that when using the C30 demo projects you will be required to select the correct processor for the demo board.

1) Open the associated project file

2) In MPLAB Select “Configure->Select Device”

3) In the device list box in the top left corner of that window, select the desired device. Build the code & program the selected device.

Running the Demo:

This demo allows the selected hardware platform as a USB CCID Smart Card Reader to the host. In order to run this demo first compile and program the target device. Attach the device to the host. If the host is a Windows PC and this is the first time you have plugged this device into the computer then you may be prompted with “New hardware found” wizard.

Click on Next to continue.

Select “Install the Software automatically” and click on next.

Click on Next to continue.

Click on Finish to complete the installation.

Note: Microsoft states that Usbccid.sys is compliant with Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Microsoft Windows Server 2003 operating systems, and is available on Windows Update (http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/input/smartcard/usb_ccid.mspx). You might need to do a ‘Windows update’ if you windows computer does not have usbccid driver (or software required to install a usbccid driver) currently.

Using jSmartCardExplorer

Download SmartCardExplorer from http://www.primianotucci.com/default.php?view=112. Attach the demo board to the Computer. Ensure that the Smart Card is inserted on the SC Pictail Card. Launch the jSmartCardExplorer Application.

Select Protocol T=0 or T=1 based on the type of Smart card you insert and click on Connect Button. If the Smart Card is inserted on the SC Pictail Card, the ‘Status’ field turns green and the ATR of the Smart Card is displayed on the ‘Card ATR’ field.

The APDU can be send to the Smart Card by clicking on the ‘Send’ Button in the Send APDU section. The Command and Data fields need to be filled before sending an APDU to the Smart Card. Please refer the Smart Card reference manual from the manufacturer of the Card for the Command list supported by the Card. The Response from the Smart Card is displayed in the APDU History Section.

A few sample commands for the ACS ACOS3 card is listed below.

Command	CLA	INS	P1	P2	LC	DATA	LE	Description
Select File	80	A4	00	00	02	FF00	00	Selects File FF00
