Hi,
I am using two GCR410P on my PC (COM1 and COM2). They work quite well on
the other OS put I am in trouble with Linux.
I have tried pcsc 0.93 and 1.0.0B, the drivers libgmecore-1.0.0 and
Gp-core-2.3.1.
The librairy seems to be deisgned to run only with ONE reader.
The first reader is always recognise and initiliased but the second is not.
If I set the COM1 reader first, it works and not the COM2 reader.
If I set the COM2 reader first, it works and not the COM1 reader.
here is the syslog output of one of my tries:

Quickly digging inside the driver, I found in file "gserial.c" (both
libgemcore and gp-core).
// .... jump code ....
static int port_fd = -1;
/// .... jump code ....
// New G_SerPortOpen provided by Ludovic Rousseau.
// THis function avoid EXPORT COM1= xxxxxx using.
INT16 G_DECL G_SerPortOpen(const TGTSER_PORT G_FAR * Param)
{
INT16 handle;
// used to set parameters in the device control block.
struct termios current_termios;
int x;
if (port_fd >= 0)
{
return GE_HOST_PORT_OPEN;
}
// .... jump code ....
port_fd = open(dev_name, O_RDWR); // O_NOCTTY was used
/// ... jump the remaining code ...
Argh ! If I am not mistaking once a serial port is open, the driver
refuse to open another one for another reader (bouhouh !).
If think I could make the both readers works by making a copy of the
driver file and renaming it for the second reader but this an ugly and
ashamed trick :(
Do I miss something in order to be able to run both readers nicely or do
I need hacking the drivers and send you the patch ?
thanks for your help and the quality of your work.
