Hello,

In my spare time, I'm trying to make a smart card reader, for which
I'm using an 8 bits microcontroller.

I've written a state machine within a timer interrupt which strictly
implements the iso7816 as I could read of it here:

http://www.cardwerk.com/smartcards/smartcard_standard_ISO7816.aspx

However, I'm not even getting an ATR out of the card.

Although I don't have oscilliscope or logic analizer, I've revised my
code and my hardware setup as many times as I can remember. Also,
since I begun with hardware testing, use to check the card I'm using
for it frequently at a friend's home, where her reader says my card is
ok.

I'm begining to suspect that I'm either missing something completely
obvious for the score, or that nowaday's cards don't make use of the
standard above mentioned (at least not how it's explained on the link
above).

So I was just wondering if anyone could provide some hints or
insigths? Also, is there any known open reader with firmware available
somewhere? (doesn't matter processor, protocol or whatsoever, just
tryng to catch what I'm doing wrong here)

I've seen some on the net, but all of them offering support for memory
cards (of the sort of Siemens SLE chips), rather than proper iso7816
ones, and so the reset sequence is not the same as described in the
above standard.

Thanks,

Luisa
