Hello,
I am having difficulty with a particular SIM card over osmo-remsim. On the bank daemon side, PCSC is timing out after 1 second on the same transaction (modemToCard: 81f2400202) after every reset. This behavior is very reliable and happens on every reset/initialization sequence from the modem. When I enable PCSC debugging, I see it is getting back the error CCID error 0xFE “Card absent or mute” from the CCID reader. When I use this card directly attached to the modem, everything is fine and the modem can go online (but I have no insight as to whether the modem is encountering an issue with the same APDU, or not).f
When this transaction error occurs, osmo-remsim-bankd closes the connection, leading to a removal/insertion and card reset event. So, the system is in infinite loop of resetting the card, making a bunch of successful APDU transactions, timing out on the offending transaction, and then resetting again all over again...
As an experiment, I changed osmo-remsim-bankd behavior to ignore the PCSC error, leave the connection open, and return a general error (0x6F 0x00) to the modem. When I do that, the modem periodically re-sends the offending APDU every few seconds, but, despite that, everything else is fine and the modem can now go online with this card over osmo-remsim. I’m thinking either card needs more time to answer this query, or perhaps it does not support this query at all.
Based on some earlier troubleshooting it appears to be related to eSIM (eUICC) functionality. This particular card reports as an eSIM (side note: curiously, its EID is blank). When I use old modem firmware that does not support eSIM capabilities, the card works just fine over osmo-remsim. It is only when I upgrade the modem firmware to a version that supports eSIM that this problem appears.
Other things I tried:
- Upgrading to latest libccid and pcsc-lite — no change
- Using a different card reader with different chip set — no change, and both are listed as “should be supported” by pcsc-lite.
A couple questions:
- Is there a way to change the timeout? I tried modifying libccid to set bBWI to 0xFF for this transaction (it was 0x00), but that had to effect. Internal timeouts within pcscd seem to be set to 3 seconds, and so I do not think they are coming into play, here.
- What are your feelings on having osmo-remsim-bankd ignore this error and return a 0x6f 0x00?
- Any other ideas?
Here is the truncated log of traffic leading up to the offending APDU:
