4.0. Software Design
4.1. CCID Protocol
ACR1251U shall interface with the host with USB connection. A specification, namely CCID, has been released within the industry defining such a protocol for the USB chip-card interface devices. CCID covers all the protocols required for operating smart cards and PIN.
The configurations and usage of USB endpoints on ACR1251U shall follow CCID section 3. An overview is summarized below:
Control Commands are sent on control pipe (default pipe). These include class-specific requests and USB standard requests. Commands that are sent on the default pipe report information back to the host on the default pipe.
CCID Events are sent on the interrupt pipe.
CCID Commands are sent on BULK-OUT endpoint. Each command sent to ACR1251U has an associated ending response. Some commands can also have intermediate responses.
CCID Responses are sent on BULK-IN endpoint. All commands sent to ACR1251U have to be sent synchronously. (i.e. bMaxCCIDBusySlots is equal to 1 for ACR1251U)
The supported CCID features by ACR1251U are indicated in its Class Descriptor:

5.0. PCSC API This Section will describe some of the PCSC API for application programming usage. For detail, please ref to Microsoft MSDN Library or PCSC workgroup.
5.1. SCardEstablishContext
The SCardEstablishContext function establishes the resource manager context within which database operations are performed.
Refer: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa379479%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
5.2. SCardListReaders
The SCardListReaders function provides the list of readers within a set of named reader groups, eliminating duplicates.
The caller supplies a list of reader groups, and receives the list of readers within the named groups. Unrecognized group names are ignored. This function only returns readers within the named groups that are currently attached to the system and available for use.
Refer: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa379793%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
5.3. SCardConnect
The SCardConnect function establishes a connection (using a specific resource manager context) between the calling application and a smart card contained by a specific reader. If no card exists in the specified reader, an error is returned.
Refer: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa379473%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
5.4. SCardControl
The SCardControl function gives you direct control of the reader. You can call it any time after a successful call to SCardConnect and before a successful call to SCardDisconnect. The effect on the state of the reader depends on the control code.
Refer: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa379474%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
Remark: Commands from “Section 6.2 Peripherals Control” are using this API for sending
5.5. ScardTransmit
The SCardTransmit function sends a service request to the smart card and expects to receive data back from the card.
Refer: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa379804%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
Remark: APDU Commands (i.e. the command send to connected card and “Section 6.1 Pseudo APDUs for Contactless Interface”) are using this API for sending
5.6. ScardDisconnect
The SCardDisconnect function terminates a connection previously opened between the calling application and a smart card in the target reader.
Refer: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa379475%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

6.1.2. Authentication for MIFARE 1K/4K
The “Authentication command” uses the keys stored in the reader to do authentication with the MIFARE 1K/4K card (PICC). Two types of authentication keys are used, TYPE_A and TYPE_B respectively.

For MIFARE 1K Card, it has totally 16 sectors and each sector consists of 4 consecutive blocks. E.g. Sector 0x00 consists of Blocks {0x00, 0x01, 0x02 and 0x03}; Sector 0x01 consists of Blocks {0x04, 0x05, 0x06 and 0x07}; the last sector 0x0F consists of Blocks {0x3C, 0x3D, 0x3E and 0x3F}. Once the authentication is done successfully, there is no need to do the authentication again provided that the blocks to be accessed are belonging to the same sector. Please refer to the MIFARE 1K/4K specification for more details.
#Once the block is authenticated successfully, all the blocks belonging to the same sector are accessible.
Key Type (1 Byte):
0x60 = Key is used as a TYPE A key for authentication.
0x61 = Key is used as a TYPE B key for authentication.
Key Number (1 Byte):
0x00 ~ 0x01 = Volatile memory for storing keys. The keys will be disappeared when the reader is disconnected from the PC. 2 volatile keys are provided. The volatile key can be used as a session key for different sessions.

Basically, all ISO14443-4 complaint cards (PICCs) would understand the ISO 7816-4 APDUs. The ACR1251U Reader just has to communicate with the ISO 14443-4 complaint cards through exchanging ISO 7816-4 APDUs and Responses. ACR1251U will handle the ISO 14443 Parts 1-4 Protocols internally.
MIFARE 1K, 4K, MINI and Ultralight tags are supported through the T=CL emulation. Just simply treat the MIFARE tags as standard ISO14443-4 tags. For more information, please refer to topic “PICC Commands for MIFARE Classic Memory Tags”

6.2.8. Set Automatic PICC Polling
The “Set Automatic PICC Polling” command is used to set the reader’s polling mode
Whenever the reader is connected to the PC, the PICC polling function will start the PICC scanning to determine if a PICC is placed on / removed from the built-antenna.
We can send a command to disable the PICC polling function. The command is sent through the PCSC Escape command interface. To meet the energy saving requirement, special modes are provided for turning off the antenna field whenever the PICC is inactive, or no PICC is found. The reader will consume less current in power saving mode.
The setting will be saved into non-volatile memory

Hints:
• It is recommended to enable the option “Turn Off Antenna Field if the PICC is inactive”, so that the “Inactive PICC” will not be exposed to the field all the time so as to prevent the PICC from “warming up”.
• The longer the PICC Poll Interval, the more efficient of energy saving. However, the response time of PICC Polling will become longer. The Idle Current Consumption in Power Saving Mode is about 60mA, while the Idle Current Consumption in Non-Power Saving mode is about 130mA. #Idle Current Consumption = PICC is not activated.
• The reader will activate the ISO14443A-4 mode of the “ISO14443A-4 compliant PICC” automatically. Type B PICC will not be affected by this option.
• The JCOP30 card comes with two modes: ISO14443A-3 (MIFARE 1K) and ISO14443A-4 modes. The application has to decide which mode should be selected once the PICC is activated.

• Normally, the application should know the maximum connection speed of the PICCs being used. #The environment also affects the maximum achievable speed. The reader just uses the proposed communication speed to talk with the PICC. The PICC will become inaccessible if the PICC or environment does not meet the requirement of the proposed communication speed.
• The reader supports different speed between sending and receiving.

Results SW1 SW2 Meaning
Success 90 Current LED State The operation is completed successfully.
Error 63 00 The operation is failed.
Current LED State (1 Byte)
Status Item Description
Bit 0 Current Red LED 1 = On; 0 = Off
Bit 1 Current Green LED 1 = On; 0 = Off
Bits 2 – 7 Reserved
Remark:
The LED State operation will be performed after the LED Blinking operation is completed.
The LED will not be changed if the corresponding LED Mask is not enabled.
The LED will not be blinking if the corresponding LED Blinking Mask is not enabled. Also, the number of repetition must be greater than zero.
T1 and T2 duration parameters are used for controlling the duty cycle of LED blinking and Buzzer Turn-On duration. For example, if T1=1 and T2=1, the duty cycle = 50%. #Duty Cycle = T1 / (T1 + T2).
To control the buzzer only, just set the P2 “LED State Control” to zero.
The make the buzzer operating, the “number of repetition” must greater than zero.
To control the LED only, just set the parameter “Link to Buzzer” to zero.
