Introduction

The 73S1217F Evaluation Board platform is a self-contained smart card reader development kit for the
evaluation and development of stand-alone, serial or USB connected smart card solutions with an LCD,
PINpad or other peripherals.

The board operates with either a PC or Linux

®

host system and can also be used as a development

platform for the creation of customer specific applications.

System Requirements

• A PC running Microsoft

®

Windows

®

XP, or a workstation running Linux, with a USB port.

• 24 megabytes of disk storage for the application and documentation.

Package Contents

• A 73S1217F Evaluation Board (labeled 73S1217F/1210F EVALUATION BOARD w/73S1217F

w/CCID FW).

• A USB cable, A-B, male/male, 2 meters.
• A 5V DC power adapter.
• A CD containing the associated drivers, applications and documentation.

Default Setup

The 73S1217F Evaluation Board ships with a default configuration suitable for use as a turnkey
Transparent Smart Card Reader using a CCID over USB connection to communicate with a host PC
application. The board’s hardware and firmware are both pre-configured by Teridian to work in this state
and the information in this document assumes this default configuration.

Refer to the 73S1217F Evaluation Board User Guide for details on alternate hardware configurations and
uses.

Demonstration Host Application

Included on the CD is a demonstration application named CCID-USB.exe which is located in the
x:\yyy\12xxF Vz.zz \CCID USB Host App C#\App\Bin” directory (where x refers to the drive, yyy refers to
the directory the installation .zip file was expanded to and z.zz is the latest version of the firmware
release). This is a host application that allows:

• Smart card activation and deactivation, in ISO or EMV mode.
• Smart card APDU commands to be exchanged with the smart card inserted in the board.
• Starting a test sequence in order to test and evaluate the board performance against an EMV test

environment.
