Introduction

The 73S1215F Evaluation Board platform is a self-contained smart card reader development kit for the
evaluation and development of stand-alone, serial or USB connected smart card solutions with an LCD,
PINpad, or other peripherals.
The board operates with either a PC or Linux
with the appropriate driver loaded, the 73S1215F Evaluation Board can be used as a smart card reader.
Any host application can operate the smart card reader through the PC/SC commands to 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
•
24 megabytes of disk storage for the application and documentation.

Package Contents

•
A 73S1215F Evaluation Board (labeled 73S1215F/1209F/1200F EVAL BOARD w/USB-CCID FW).
•
A CD containing the associated drivers, applications and documentation.
•
A USB cable, A-B, male/male, 2 meters.
•
A 7-12 VDC power adapter with 2.1 mm plug ID.

Default Setup

The 73S1215F Evaluation Board ships with a default configuration suitable for use as a turnkey
Transparent Smart Card Reader using a CCID USB connection to communicate with a host PC
application. The board's hardware and firmware are both pre-configured to work in this state and the
information in this document assumes this default configuration. Refer to the 73S1215F Evaluation Board
User Guide for details on alternate hardware configurations and uses.

Demonstration Host Application

Included on the CD is a demonstration application named CCID-USB.exe which is located in the
"x:\yyy\12xxF Vz.zz\Host Applications\Windows App\Bin\Release" directory (where x refers to the drive,
yyy refers to the directory the installation .zip file 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!
