Introduction
The 73S1210F Multi-SAM Evaluation Board Lite is a platform that demonstrates the capabilities of the
73S1210F Smart Card Controller device. It has been designed to operate either as a standalone or as a
development platform. The Multi-SAM board is a special configuration that uses a single 8010C interface
device to support up to five smart cards; one full size (credit card) and up to four SIM/SAM cards. This
multi-SIM/SAM configuration imposes usage limitations which are described in the 73S1210F Multi-SAM
Evaluation Board Lite User Guide.
The 73S1210F Evaluation Board Lite can be programmed to run any of the Teridian turnkey applications
or a user-developed custom application. Teridian provides its Multi-SAM Pseudo-CCID application
preloaded on the board and an EVM testing application on the CD.
System Requirements
• A PC running Microsoft ®
Windows XP and equipped with a serial port.
• Eight megabytes of disk storage for the Teridian Exerciser application and documentation.
Package Contents
• A 73S1210F/17/8010F Multi-SAM Evaluation Board Lite populated with a 73S1210F and pre-loaded
with the Teridian Multi-SAM Pseudo-CCID firmware.
• A CD containing the Exerciser application generic host driver and documents.
• RS-232 serial cable, female/male, 2 meters.
• A 5V DC power supply.
Default Setup
The 73S1210F Multi-SAM Evaluation Board Lite ships with a default configuration suitable for use as a
turnkey Transparent Smart Card Reader using a Pseudo-CCID over serial connection to communicate
with a host PC application. The board’s hardware and firmware are pre-configured by Teridian to work in
this state and the information in this document assumes this default configuration. Refer to the 73S1210F
Multi-SAM Evaluation Board Lite User Guide for details on alternate hardware configurations and uses.
Software Installation on Windows XP
Follow these steps using a PC running Windows XP:
• Extract “PCCID V y.yy Release.zip” (where y.yy is the latest version of the firmware release).
o Create an install directory. For example: “C:\TSC\”.
o Unzip “PCCID V y.yy Release.zip” to the just created folder. All applications and documentation
needed to run the board with a Windows PC will be loaded to this folder.
• Connect the Serial cable between the host system and the board.
• Plug the supplied adapter into the 5V DC jack on the board.
• Press the ON/OFF button once. The power LED D4 should turn on.
• The application is now installed and the board is ready to use. The provided host application or any
other host application can now be launched from Windows XP to access the smart card reader.
