Problem: Latest official simtrace firmware v0.5 fails to trace some 
smart cards. The APDU output is meaningless
and tracing stops after displaying few garbage APDUs.

There is unofficial firmware "0.5.3-6ea9-dirty" which tries to fix the 
problem.
Here are step-by-step instructions how to try out firmware 
"0.5.3-6ea9-dirty".

Updating simtrace firmware:
sudo apt-get install dfu-util
wget 
http://lists.osmocom.org/pipermail/simtrace/attachments/20140624/a17d1070/attachment-0001.bin
sudo dfu-util -d 16c0:0762 -a0 -D ./attachment-0001.bin -R

Now connect debug interface and press "reset" button on simtrace. You 
should see:
sudo cu -l /dev/ttyUSB0 -s 115200
