Release notes shortly.

[warbo]

From Maxdigital:

Documentation is not finished yet.

Largest improvements:

The smartreader works even faster with most cards.
Many extra smartcards support.
Enigma support must improved.
New setting: Smartcardreader+ ID through udev.
- smartreader allways start up on right DEV/ port.
- Combine smartcard with smartreader!!


------------------------
Linux tool:

Options:
./srp_tool -h (help info)
./srp_tool -n <#> (give an ID to smartreader ("0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~¦")
./srp_tool -d <comport or id> (gives smartreader information)
./srp_tool -p (0 = pc mode / 1 = enigma mode)
./srp_tool -m (0 = autoswitch / 1 = fixed Mhz mode)

By fixed mode
./srp_tool -x <frequency> (Fixed mode set frequency )
./srp_tool -t <val> t = val (Fixed mode set T-val mode)
./srp_tool -e <val> egt = val (Fixed mode set egt-val mode)

Freq VALUES MHZ
3 16
4 12
5 9.61
6 8
7 6.86
8 6
9 5.34
10 4.80
11 4.36
12 4
13 3.69
14 3.43
15 3.20

------------------------

Example ID smartcardreader+ with smartcard

We have three smartcards and three smartreader+.
card1 = First Full card
card2 = Second Full card
card3 = Starter card

We will give the three smartreaders+ an ID
First smartreader+ we will ID as "READER F"
second smartreader+ we will ID as "READER G"
Third smartreader+ we will ID as "READER S"

We program the ID into the smartreader+
./srp_tool -n F
./srp_tool -n G
./srp_tool -n S

we place the smartcards into the smartreader+
smartcard first full card into Reader F
smartcard second full card into Reader G
smartcard starter card into Reader S


Now we will set a name in linux OS for the smartreader+
Modify or add a new file in /etc/udev/ (depand on linux OS)

First Full card is placed in smartreader+ called "Reader F". We will name it in linux OS "sr+_firstfull"
Than this line must be placed in the file:
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", KERNEL=="ttyUSB*", ATTRS{serial}=="Reader F", SYMLINK+="Sr+_firstfull"

Second Full card is placed in smartreader+ called "Reader G". We will name it in linux OS "sr+_secondfull"
Than this line must be placed in the file:
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", KERNEL=="ttyUSB*", ATTRS{serial}=="Reader G", SYMLINK+="Sr+_secondfull"


Starter card is placed in smartreader+ called "Reader S". We will name it in linux OS "Sr+_starter"
Than this line must be placed in the file:
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", KERNEL=="ttyUSB*", ATTRS{serial}=="Reader S", SYMLINK+="Sr+_starter"


The USB ports will be reconnised after the changes like this:

/dev/Sr+_firstfull
/dev/Sr+_secondfull
/dev/Sr+_starter


------------------------

Example cccam
Normally the smartreader+ will be set like this:
/dev/ttyUSB0 smartreader+
/dev/ttyUSB1 smartreader+
/dev/ttyUSB2 smartreader+
(which one is a full card and which one is starter card?? You allways need to control it and adjust settings or change cards in smartreader)

We given the smartreader+ a name so when use loadbalance or different frequency must be used than we always know we set the right smartreader+.
After reboot, replacement of smartreader+ or other interuption you allways know that the right smartcardreader+ is set in right mode.

This is what you place now in cccam:
/dev/Sr+_firstfull smartreader+
/dev/Sr+_secondfull smartreader+
/dev/Sr+_starter smartreader+

Example: Set frequence, loadbalance
SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY: /dev/Sr+_firstfull 80000000
SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY: /dev/Sr+_secondfull 80000000
SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY: /dev/Sr+_starter 60000000
LOADBALANCE : /dev/Sr+_firstfull /dev/Sr+_secondfull

Example: Set PID

Hi Johna.

I'm currently out of stock I'm afraid. I will have new stock in two weeks. If you want to wait just let me know and I'll put one aside.

It's supposed to be fine and I haven't had any reports of failings from the download link. Proceed at your own risk though.

To be honest I don't think there is any real difference for aussies between the versions.

[mborkp]

well, just checked the site, the link is dead... ?

I've 2 smargos, I updated one and it is not recognised under windows smargo program anymore, that's why I asked what it the story with the update.
Hopefully we will find out something from Warbo.
Cheers

What I meant was that the file has been downloaded plenty of times from here and to date nobody has emailed me to say they've had any dramas. That's no to say they haven't though.

To be honest I haven't upgraded one myself. When the firmware came out I was out of stock and all my stock since has had 1.04 preloaded.

Don't forget to try running the windows smargo config software in administrator mode. I know you need to do that if you have windows 7 or else it won't recognise the smargo.

Hi Mate,

Ive had one customer report a similar issue to you after upgrading to 1.04. (Out of about 150+)

Sent out a replacement to him and got him to return his faulty unit.

Couldn't sus out the issue with it, it just wouldn't get detected after the upgrade. So i just threw it in my returns box. He did say that the upgrade completed successfully.

Ive upgraded plenty of the readers I sell myself without any dramas.

Haven't been able to isolate the problem.

Not sure if you purchased it from me, but if you did don't hesitate to drop a email requesting a replacement

Hope that saves you pulling out anymore hair

[mborkp]

Hi,

Thanks.
