[Pcsclite-muscle] IDBridge K3000 is not found by pcsc_scan

[Nikolaos Kakouros]

Hello,

I have a IDBridge K3000 device. I am trying to use it on either Arch Linux (fully updated) or Ubuntu 16.04.2 installed on a Dell laptop with an Intel i5 processor. I have tried with different USB ports. In both cases, I fail.

On Arch Linux, I compiled the USB CCID driver from a fresh git checkout. The version of pcsc-lite is 1.8.23 and the version of pcsc-tools is 1.5.2.

On Ubuntu 16.04, I used apt to install whatever is in the repos. So, pcsc-tools is 1.4.25, libccid is 1.4.22 and pcscd is 1.8.14. The output of pcscd --version is:

pcsc-lite version 1.8.14.

Sorry for the sans serif font but if I include formatting the email bounces back.

The device is recognized by the Linux kernel. The output of dmesg is:

[ 4904.459100] usb 1-3: new high-speed USB device number 33 using xhci_hcd

I run pcscd in debug mode (sudo LIBCCID_ifdLogLevel=0x000F pcscd --foreground --debug --apdu --color | tee log.txt). When the usb device is plugged in, it reacts and I see:

The sudo ./src/parse utility shows:

I searched the mailing list and the only relevant thread I found was http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/pcsclite-muscle/2017-May/000885.html . If I understood correctly there, some fixes are already in the latest version.

Am I doing sth wrong? Could there be sth wrong with the specific USB device I have? Can I somehow overcome this issue?

Thank you for your time.
