Btw, the first release of XTRX (http://xtrx.io) will have a SIM driver, so it'll be possible to connect it directly to a SIM card slot, as per the miniPCIe standard. If users will find this feature useful for users, it'll make it to the final release.
definitely keep it. I suppose it is just a few wires routed to the FPGA in the borad design, so I don't think there is any reason to remove it? So why raise the question in the first place? Even if there is no soft-core for the ISO7816 master integrated in the FPGA yet, poeple could certianly add it later if needed.
The key element there is a SIM card voltage level converter chip. XTRX is quite densely populated, so we may remove unused features to free some space for something we think is more useful. It's like garbage collection :) So it would be great if someone actually use it, that's all I'm saying.
