Re: MUSCLE smartcard development under Linux
The MUSCLE PC/SC should be ready in about 2 weeks for Application development. I will be writing a quick ICCSP for a generic ISO-7816-4 card with no crypto services available. This will compile directly on the Resource Manager until the RPC stuff is finished which I'm guessing will be done by Christmas. In the meantime you could write your application on top of the current stuff that is available by talking through the function SCARDCOMM::Transmit() which allows you to send bare APDU's directly to the card. Since your application does not rely on a specific card this would be fine and the PC/SC Resource Manager would take care of reader dependencies.

MUSCLE smartcard development under Linux
I'm interested in developing smartcard applications under Linux. I follow the MUSCLE mailing list, but I am a bit of confused about the current state of the project. Looking at the Web pages didn't help me a lot. Maybe somebody of you finds some time to answer my questions. Thanx! Has somebody thought of developing a tool that could help a programmer test & debug his smartcard programs... I think of something that helps you create APDUs, logs the answers, name & save APDUs,... The Xcard utility doesn't do that, or am I wrong? Of course, this tool should be build on top of the resource manager & PC/SC framework. The Schlumberger kit supplies something similar under Windows. Does it also under Linux? I think there is only the mksolo utility available? Is the MUSCLE project ready so that someone (mayebe me?) could take on the effort developing a tool like that? I haven't installed & tried MUSCLE yet, but I would like to. I'm just not sure how far I can get with it. -Harald *** Linux Smart Card Developers - M.U.S.C.L.E.
