Hi there, I'm trying to get a project going on the BeagleBoard, which
is basically a mini computer based on an ARM chip and running Angstrom
Linux.  I have an openembedded cross compilation environment set up,
and have compiled a few things with it already, so that shouldn't be a
major issue.  I am however a complete newbie when it comes to
smartcards.

What I was looking for was some advice on a USB smartcard readers and
pinpads.  Basically I need to be able to read a smartcard and a pin,
and I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on a reasonably
costed piece of equipment that I could pick up.  I see a few listed
at:
http://pcsclite.alioth.debian.org/ccid/supported.html
But I'd prefer to get a recommendation from someone with some
experience, rather than just pick one from the list and try my luck.

I was also wondering if someone could point me at a good "beginner's
guide" to getting this sort of thing working.  I assume I'll have to
compile some sort of OpenSC or CCID package, and then... read the
guide? :D

I don't think Angstrom Linux has a precompiled package (though I could
be wrong... I don't really like their package search page).  I *do*
however see a 'ccid' recipe in openembedded which looks like it's
actually pcsc-lite.  Assuming that compiles and works, is that all I
need?

Well, that's probably enough densely packed newbness for one post.
Thanks for any help anyone has to offer!

 - Brent
