Can't allocate Chipcard::PCSC::Card object: Unknown reader specified.

[jananii23]

Hi, I am validating the Smart Card Bridge SEC1210 in our Custum board, but I am facing the following error when I run the command:

pcsc_scan

PC/SC device scanner V 1.7.2 (c) 2001-2024, Ludovic Rousseau ludovic.rousseau@free.fr Using reader plug'n play mechanism Scanning present readers... 0: USX101x SmartCard Reader [CCID Interface] (F58FA6DC) 00 00 1: USX101x SmartCard Reader [CCID Interface] (F58FA6DC) 01 00

Wed Oct 16 05:07:42 2024 Reader 0: USX101x SmartCard Reader [CCID Interface] (F58FA6DC) 00 00 Event number: 0 Card state: Card removed Reader 1: USX101x SmartCard Reader [CCID Interface] (F58FA6DC) 01 00 Event number: 0 Card state: Card inserted, Unresponsive card

My card is in Reader 1, but I am experiencing an unresponsive card issue.

Then, when I run the scriptor command, I get the following output:

scriptor -r "USX101x SmartCard Reader [CCID Interface] (F58FA6DC) 01 00" -p "T=0"

Trying T=0 protocol Using given card reader: USX101x SmartCard Reader [CCID Interface] (F58FA6DC) 01 00 Can't allocate Chipcard::PCSC::Card object: Unknown reader specified.

Could you please provide a solution to resolve this issue?

Regards,
Janani

That is very strange bug. Try to use gscriptor (the graphical version).

Hi, Can I get to know why pcsc_scan contains the below error: Card state: Card inserted, Unresponsive card What is the meaning of Unresponsive card, how can this be resolved

[jananii23]

Hi, When I run the command gscriptor,

gscriptor

(gscriptor:1033): Gtk-WARNING **: 00:01:16.368: cannot open display:

[LudovicRousseau]

"Unresponsive card" is the PC/SC error SCARD_W_UNRESPONSIVE_CARD https://pcsclite.apdu.fr/api/group__ErrorCodes.html#ga359a9e85e3b7c83c76507a096452b74f

It means "The smart card is not responding to a reset. ".

Maybe the card is dead, or inserted in a wrong way, or the electrical contacts are dirty, or...

[jananii23]

Ok, I'll check on this. Iam not able to run gscriptor command too. What may be the reason for Can't allocate Chipcard::PCSC::Card object: Unknown reader specified. How this can be resolved.

Hi, When I run the command gscriptor,

gscriptor

[LudovicRousseau]

Do you start gscriptor from a graphical interface ?

what is the result of the command: echo $DISPLAY

Hi, After doing some changes hardware wise, Iam able to communicate with sim. When I'll give the below commands, pcsc_scan PC/SC device scanner V 1.7.2 (c) 2001-2024, Ludovic Rousseau ludovic.rousseau@free.fr Using reader plug'n play mechanism Scanning present readers... 0: USX101x Dual Slot SmartCard Reader [CCID Interface] (B58FB5FC) 00 00 1: USX101x Dual Slot SmartCard Reader [CCID Interface] (B58FB5FC) 01 00

So, I need to know how we can read and write in the SIM, Is this procedure proper.

[LudovicRousseau]

So scriptor is working fine. It was a bug on your side.

For SIM cards see my blog https://blog.apdu.fr/categories/sim/

[jananii23]

Is there any GUI application for arm64, which supports read and write to SIM for Ubuntu or Linux'
