73S1210F Evaluation Board is a turnkey serial smart card reader development kit for the efficient evaluation and development of stand-alone solutions
The 73S1210F Evaluation Board is a turnkey serial smart‑card reader development kit that provides two card interfaces and communicates with a host PC via an RS‑232 serial port. It ships with pre‑loaded firmware, a CD containing the Exerciser application, a serial cable and a 5 V DC power supply.
The guide walks you through installing the PCCID driver on a Windows XP computer, connecting the board, powering it on, and using the supplied demonstration host application to activate cards, send APDU commands, and run test sequences. It also outlines how to integrate the board into an embedded system using the provided ANSI‑C driver source.
