SIMtrace issues

hi, I'll be listing some issues I found in SIMtrace. This is to warn future users. I don't have time now, but I intend to work on this project in 1 or 2 weeks and correct these bugs. 1. when starting host program simtrace, the firmware will first return ATR. This is an error if simtrace is started after the card has been reseted. The program should use the state of the reset and vcc lines to know the state. 2. when using a usb hub, having a lot of USB traffic, or poor USB signal quality (I don't know exactly), bulk read timeouts can occur in host program simtrace/at91sam7/host/main.c line 230: rc = usb_bulk_read(udev, SIMTRACE_IN_EP, buf, sizeof(buf), 100000); rc is -110 (REQUEST_TIMEOUT). I increased the timeout (100000) so to have less errors (but they still occur), and I ignore this error instead of exiting (tracing still works). 3. it seems simtrace can loose track of the I/O stream after some traffic. see pcsc_apdu.log to see the original, and simtrace_apdu.log for the captured traffic. in the end, simtrace misses: APDU: A0 C0 00 00 0F and does a wrong following APDU parsing The problem occurs when using a OmniKey CardMan 5321 and Alcor Micro AU9520. Thus the reader should not be the origin. Also, if only the command where the error occurs is sent, no bytes are skipped. But another error occurs (see next bug) 4. when executing only the last commands, then it is wrongly interpreted (as ATR), but no bytes are skipped ATR (12): 3b 0a 41 00 3f 43 00 01 50 29 01 02 ATR (66): a0 a4 00 00 02 a4 7f 20 9f 17 a0 a4 00 00 02 a4 6f ad 9f 0f a0 c0 00 00 0f c0 00 00 00 03 6f ad 04 00 04 f0 44 01 02 00 00 90 00 a0 b0 00 00 03 b0 00 00 00 90 00 3b 0a 41 00 3f 43 00 01 50 29 01 02 I already wrote a SIM traffic parser for the PC before simtrace appeared. I used a logic analyzer to record the traffic. I will integrate the ATR and APDU parsing/checking into the simtrace firmware. Wrong recorded traffic will be discarded instead of affecting the rest of the parsing. thanks, kevin
