Dem ons tration H ost Applicati on
I ncluded on the CD i s a demonstr ation appl ication named “TS CP -CCID.exe” which is located in th e
“x:\yyy\ \PCCID Vz.zz Release\Host Application s \Windows App\App\Bin\Release” d irectory (where x
refers to the drive, yyy refers to the directory t he in stallation .zip file w as expanded to and z.zz is the
latest version of the fir mwar e r elease) . This i s a host appl i cation that allows:
• S mart card activation and deactivat ion, i n ISO or EMV mode.
• S mart card AP DU commands to be exchanged wit h the smart card inserted in the board.
• S tarti ng a test sequence in order to test and evaluat e the board per formance again st an EMV test
environment.
Run TSCP-CCID.exe to execute the host demonstrati on applica ti on. At this point th e appl ication window
shoul d appear . F or addi tional information r egar di ng the use of the Teridian H ost appl i cation, refer to t he
Pseudo-CCID Host GUI Users Guide (UG_12xxF_037).
Inte grati on in an Emb edded System
The 73S1210F Evaluation Board can also be connected to a host micr opr ocessor i n an embedded
architecture, l i ke in Poi nt-of-Sales t er min als, so l id-stat e utility m eters and digital Set-Top Boxes. I n such
cases, a softwa r e Pseudo-CCID d river must be i ntegrated within the host processor embedded software.
The Teridian CD provided wit h this Development Board i ncludes the AN SI C source code of the Teridian
generic driver that will allow seamless in tegrati on i nto virtuall y and proce ssor and oper ati ng system . F or
