Hi,
Hello, You are talking about the NEW GemPC Card and not the old GemPC 400, right? Both are PCMCIA but are completely different inside.
libccid supports it, I'd like to add it to openct too, but I have no idea how to talk to it? Should I see a serial device file or anything? Or does it need a special kernel driver? I'm a bit confused. How does libccid talk to it?
When you insert the device in your PCMCIA slot Linux will create a new serial port. I don't know if it is easy to predict the new serial port name. Maybe last /dev/ttySx +1. The device can then be use as a normal GemPC Twin in serial mode (The GemPC Twin can be connected to a USB or serial port depending on the cable you use). No kernel module is needed. This GemPC Card reader is already supported by my CCID driver + pcsc-lite. pcscd will rescan its serial configuration file (/etc/reader.conf) when a SIGUSR1 signal is received so it is possible to hot plug/unplug the reader to make it appear/disappear. The "problem" is that I do not provide a hotplug/udev or whatever else configuration file. Maybe a better solution would be to add support of ifdhandler API in OpenCT so you could use any ifdhandler driver without rewriting it.
