[blackndoor]

Hello, I'm unable to use the smartcard reader.

[usb] pm3 --> smart info
[!] ⚠️  smart card select failed

It's a brand new proxmark3 RDV4.01. I followed the instructions to install the tools and Flash the BOOTROM & FULLIMAGE.

Confirmed, I have noticed its not like this all time, but is sure isn't stable.

[tcprst]

Do you have any details of the cards you're trying @blackndoor? I've tried several JCOP with contact interface, PIV, etc... and they all respond to the smart info

[blackndoor]

I tried with a french VISA credit card, I will try with other ones. thks

[tcprst]

Something else you could try is the emv search with the -w argument for using the contact interface. I just tried with a German VISA and it finds the Visa Credit AID. Although that same Visa does show up properly in smart info as well...

[iceman1001]

lets see, I reverted to the high precision clock that was used before... Not that it should matter,.. pull latest / compile / flash and test

[blackndoor]

thks @tcprst, I tried with a health care card and got some info with smart info, also some info with emv search -w with the VISA. @iceman1001 thks: git pull, make clean && make all, sudo make install, pm3-flash-all I have the same result smart card select failed

[iceman1001]

The smart card reader will have an issue with cards that uses 5v or more... If I remember correct its only capable of 3.3v cards. Try a different smart card in order to rid that out

[tcprst]

If I remember correct its only capable of 3.3v cards.

Thanks @iceman1001 that explains what I'm seeing with my SLE4442 cards which are definitely 5V

[iceman1001]

Pull latest and it should work again. I missed one part to revert.
