The 73S1217F Evaluation Board Lite from Teridian Semiconductor Corporation is a development platform that demonstrates the capabilities of the 73S1217F Smart Card Controller. It can operate as a standalone board or with an in‑circuit emulator for custom application development.
The guide covers package contents, hardware features, recommended test tools, basic power connections, USB and RS‑232 interfaces, smart‑card and battery‑backup interfaces, driver installation for Windows and Linux, and troubleshooting FAQs. It also includes ordering information and references to related documentation.
| USB interface | USB 2.0 full speed |
|---|---|

Make sure the board is powered, the Teridian USB CCID driver appears without errors in Device Manager, the Smart Card Service is running, and then refresh the CCID application.
It means the driver did not complete enumeration; reset the board, reconnect directly to a PC USB port, and verify the driver version is at least 6.0.0.2.
