Ubuntu Oscam - Smargo Help Needed

[checkitout]

Is anyone here able to help me with getting a smargo going on a Ubuntu Oscam server

It is an original smargo and it does work as I can use it with windows no problem.
I have tried many different combinations and for the moment I have given up.

Below is some config info from oscam and "lsusb" of which I am sure is valid - problem is I can not isolate where my problem is - first thing is I suppose is to find out if the the oscam.server file has correct data in it.

BTW thankyou to those members here that have sent me pms previously. As can be seen I am still struggling.

Info is as per below:


Scan USB via Reader (oscam webif)

extract from oscam.server file

enable = 1
protocol = smartreader
device = Serial:Reader 003
services =
caid = XXXX

You can use dmesg to see if the reader is connecting in linux properly. If you are running
the oscam binary to can use the scan usb function in oscam and get the usb port and de vice id from that. Look for something labelled future. Once you get the id you reader setup should look something like this.

[reader]
label = tajtv
enable = 1
protocol = smartreader
device = 001:008
services =
caid = 0604
detect = cd
mhz = 600
cardmhz = 600
ident =
group = 4
emmcache = 1,3,2
blockemm-g = 1
lb_weight = 100

From your oscam webif, this is the smargo,

Bus 005 Device 003: ID 0403:6001 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd FT232 USB-Serial (UART) IC

So your device line should be,

device = 005:003

Thanks - I am still not getting far with this

Using the oscam.server config as below with mods as noted the status logs come up also as below.

Oscam.server

label = card1
enable = 1
protocol = smartreader
device = 005:003

boxkey =
detect = cd
mhz = 600
cardmhz = 600
ident =

emmcache = 1,3,2
blockemm-g = 1
lb_weight = 100

It seems this may be close ... these last messages "error activating card" I would think is pointing to something wrong set somewhere

Any thoughts on how to fix?

[Kavakid]

try ident = 0604:000000

and the tk0, tk1 must be correct length

try ident = 0604:000000

Added and checked these... still no go

have you got the card around the right way?

[checkitout]

have you got the card around the right way?

Yep - I have checked this - contacts face the thicker side of the smargo

I have tried both ways anyway.

Is it a working card, details have not died?

Are all your config data in usr/local/etc chmod 644? (you should have 6 files there)

emmcashe i would set as 1,1,2.

other than that the config posted looks good.

Thanks -
Card is good as I am using a serial port with no probs in the meantime.
Config data in that file path is also correct. I will double check the 6 files chmod etc anyway.

On another point I may grab a DM800 and see if I can get the Smargo working off that.
At least that way if I have success on that I may be able to isolate this problem to a Ubuntu item rather than something with Oscam

[checkitout]

I have not been able to get this smargo working....

Also tried on a DM800 and I have since built 2 Linux sevrers (1 x laptop and 1 x P4)

Is there another piece of software I can use to check that the smargo is good (I thought it was working on windows - greywolf / test read) ... what about NewCS ?

Failing this I will send the smargo to somebody with a working setup and swap the smargo ... this should definitely prove at least that is good.

After trying on 3 machines as well as a DM800 I am a bit pissed at the moment... time to walk away

Typical log is as per below

If someone has any suggestions it will be much appreciated

your smargo's faulty that's exactly what was happening to me!! i changed my smargo and all is good now!!!

Thanks - I think you may be right.

Also with Newcs... I can get newcs to see that there is a card present but it will not read details from the card... this also points to the smartreader as a problem

[checkitout]

All sorted now.

Upgraded the smargo to version 1.4 and it is working fine now.

Thanks to all those here that posted as well as those that pmed me with that more detailed help.
