Hi there, I have built and installed the requirements for OpenBTS and my USRP (Ettus N210) is responding but now I am stuck at SIM card stage. I am trying to program a Super SIM 16-in-1 using the Insten_USB_SIM_Card_Writerhttps://www.amazon.com/Insten-Reader-Writer-Backup-Phone/dp/B0188GHIP2/ref=pd_sbs_147_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B0188GHIP2&pd_rd_r=7814918c-6ce3-11e8-8c85-6f6601b90f74&pd_rd_w=uWdRH&pd_rd_wg=JuNOy&pf_rd_i=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=5825442648805390339&pf_rd_r=KR5JHK6G2A4ATF92VJ6S&pf_rd_s=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_t=40701&psc=1&refRID=KR5JHK6G2A4ATF92VJ6S and following the steps mentioned herehttp://openbts.org/w/index.php?title=ProgrammingSIMcards and herehttp://osmocom.org/projects/pysim/wiki but unable to write the sim card. Every time I run the pcsc_scan command it stops working. Below is the output.
"wslopenbts@wslopenbts-desktop:~$ pcsc_scan PC/SC device scanner V 1.4.25 (c) 2001-2011, Ludovic Rousseau ludovic.rousseau@free.fr Compiled with PC/SC lite version: 1.8.14 Using reader plug'n play mechanism Scanning present readers... Waiting for the first reader...^C"
The problem seems that the PC is not getting the SIM card reader. But the SIM card reader was plugged into the PC while running the command and the LED turned red which indicate it was getting the power from the PC. Do you think, buying another new SIM card reader can resolve the issue? I can test by buying another SIM and SIM card reader; Do any of you have any suggestion for the SIM and SIM card reader, particularly which one will be good? Finally, any guideline for me regarding programming the SIM card. I will be very grateful if you help me by giving suggestions to resolve my issue.
Can anyone please help me regarding this issue.
Thanks in advance Best Regards, Farah
Hi Farah,
What SIM card reader are you using? What does the command lsusb say? Also check dmesg and syslog for more information. It is almost sure that your reader’s driver is not yet or already included in pcsc, so you will need peobably change pcsc version to an older or newer release.
Kind regards, Domi

Hey,
The reader you are using it's called a Phoenix Reader, they are a bit tricky and there isn't much documentation (at least I wasn't able to find). I haven't had any luck making them work with PCSC. You should try to use a proper reader. If you want a recommendation for a decent brand, I would suggest Gemalto. If you really want to use your current reader, you should check UICCSIM by opencells, afaik it should work.

For more information on using phoenix readers with PCSC, check the following link. http://timesinker.blogspot.com/2016/04/using-cheap-sim-card-readers.html (I haven't had any luck with this)

Dear Domi, Thank you for your kind reply and suggestions. Now I am using this Insten_USB_SIM_Card_Writerhttps://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.amazon.com_Insten-2DReader-2DWriter-2DBackup-2DPhone_dp_B0188GHIP2_ref-3Dpd-5Fsbs-5F147-5F1-3F-5Fencoding-3DUTF8-26pd-5Frd-5Fi-3DB0188GHIP2-26pd-5Frd-5Fr-3D7814918c-2D6ce3-2D11e8-2D8c85-2D6f6601b90f74-26pd-5Frd-5Fw-3DuWdRH-26pd-5Frd-5Fwg-3DJuNOy-26pf-5Frd-5Fi-3Ddesktop-2Ddp-2Dsims-26pf-5Frd-5Fm-3DATVPDKIKX0DER-26pf-5Frd-5Fp-3D5825442648805390339-26pf-5Frd-5Fr-3DKR5JHK6G2A4ATF92VJ6S-26pf-5Frd-5Fs-3Ddesktop-2Ddp-2Dsims-26pf-5Frd-5Ft-3D40701-26psc-3D1-26refRID-3DKR5JHK6G2A4ATF92VJ6S&d=DwMGaQ&c=c6MrceVCY5m5A_KAUkrdoA&r=_2fcgDL48JH6xH97k8QTr5xs5ua5oLdreTU-ysnT2Zw&m=s-PEGz7YxZLDkCuifBuijZE8PM1LzrFsacu6Vk1rbCA&s=QyvN2WHDbhhrA1oTSvn92BmLaBRpp_qGQwmu0oVRYNg&e= one, but I am pretty sure this SIM card reader is not working. I think it will be good to buy a new card reader; I am taking necessary steps to buy the new SIM card reader. I hope everything will be fine. However, here is the output of lsusb command without the Card reader.
wslopenbts@wslopenbts-desktop:~$ lsusb Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp.

and with the Card reader.

It seems syslog command is not working in my system. Here is the output.
wslopenbts@wslopenbts-desktop:~$ syslog No command 'syslog' found, did you mean: Command 'syslogd' from package 'busybox-syslogd' (universe) Command 'syslogd' from package 'inetutils-syslogd' (universe) Command 'dsyslog' from package 'dsyslog' (universe) syslog: command not found
Thank you. Best Regards, Farah
