This may be old news but ... There are a couple open source smart card operating system efforts underway. One, Gnu Card O/S (gcos), is lead by Christian Kahlo ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). Details including the current release can be found at www.gcos.de. There is also an open source smart card operating system project trying to get going at the University of Michigan (www.citi.umich.edu). Contact Jim Rees ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
Finally there was a smart card IFD project going on at the University of Cape Town: http://www.cs.uct.ac.za/Research/DNA/SOCS/projectpage.html If you've got a spare $100K you can license the source code of the Microsoft Smart Card O/S as a starting point for your own O/S.

I have 7 years of embedded design and software experience. The last 4 years I have work with smartcards and are interested in writing an OS for it.

If you are not very familiar with development on micro-controllers (i.e. use of emulators or even oscilloscopes to validate you I/O routines), it is going to be very difficult. As a former SC OS developer, I can tell you that writing code for a micro-controller is really a different experience from working on a PC: the memory constraints in terms of code size and RAM have a direct influence on your coding style! On the other hand, writing JavaCard applets is much easier. > I any one off you out there can tell me > where to find tools e.g. compilers, assemblers for this AVR Smartcard I > would be great full. You would have to get them from the manufacturer of the card chip you choose. Good luck, JLuc. *************************************************************** Unix Smart Card Developers - M.U.S.C.L.E.
