ez100pu ubuntu 10.10 maverick

Неоценимую помощь оказал западный форум:

i read a few posts on Linux forums about users having some troubles installing the EZ100PU SmartCard reader & PCSC-Lite on Linux

so here just a guide i wrote for installation on Ubuntu Jaunty :
(i don't work for Castle Tech or anything but just hope this can help some users dealing with this reader)

note : the manufacturer provided lately some texts for installation on Linux , but if you follow these steps below the good point is you only install & run standard packages (no executables from the manufacturer)

/*
Linux Ubuntu V9.04 - installation guide for :
hardware PCSC SmartCard Reader USB & PCSC-Lite
*/

- install Linux packages :
sudo apt-get install pcscd pcsc-tools libusb-dev libusb-0.1-4

- download PCSC-Lite Linux package (here version 1.5.4) :
(for ex from http://pcsclite.alioth.debian.org/ )
pcsc-lite-1.5.4.tar.bz2

- mount usbfs (to use EZ100PU on USB) :
sudo mount -t usbfs usbfs /proc/bus/usb

- install & build PCSC-Lite binaries :
in dir /usr/local/ : sudo tar x -v -o -f pcsc-lite-1.5.4.tar.bz2
in dir /usr/local/pcsc-lite-1.5.4/ : sudo mkdir drivers (to install driver files later)
sudo ./configure --disable-libhal --enable-libusb --enable-usbdropdir=/usr/local/pcsc-lite-1.5.4/drivers
sudo make
sudo make install

- download Castles Tech EZ100PU driver-package :
(for ex from http://www.casauto.com.tw/en/in-download.aspx )
200962419433781450.gz

- install EZ100PU driver files into PCSC-Lite directory :
extract files from EZ100PU driver-package :
/EZUSB_Linux_x86_v1.4.7_For_Ubuntu/driver_ezusb_v1.4.7/drivers/ezusb.so
/EZUSB_Linux_x86_v1.4.7_For_Ubuntu/driver_ezusb_v1.4.7/drivers/Info.plist
move these files to PCSC-Lite directories (use to create the new directories in /drivers) :
/usr/local/pcsc-lite-1.5.4/drivers/EZ100usb.bundle/Contents/Linux/ezusb.so
/usr/local/pcsc-lite-1.5.4/drivers/EZ100usb.bundle/Contents/Info.plist

- run pcsc_scan & test the EZ100PU reader access :
type
it should detect the EZ100PU reader :
Scanning present readers
0: CASTLES EZ100PU 00 00
Reader 0: CASTLES EZ100PU 00 00
Card state: Card removed,
then you can try when inserting a SmartCard

- debugging :
type & check that the EZ100PU reader is detected
kill pcscd (daemon) process & relaunch using :
then insert the EZ100PU USB reader & should get display of PCSC-Lite info/error messages

Good guide.

This unfortunately does not work on a 64 bit install. (The library provided by the manufacturer is 32 bits only, and no sources found...)

Good guide.

This unfortunately does not work on a 64 bit install. (The library provided by the manufacturer is 32 bits only, and no sources found...)

Well, I got it to work on 64-bit install under linux32 compatibility. Here is a small howto:

Add extra lib32 sources:
> add-apt-repository ppa:falk-t-j/lucid

> apt-get update

Install 32-bit compat libs:
> apt-get install libc6-dev-i386

все было хорошо но вот следующее не ставится:

 > apt-get install lib32usb

 нужно сделать следующее:

  wget http://ppa.launchpad.net/falk-t-j/lucid/ubuntu/pool/main/lib3/lib32usb/lib32usb_1.0-0~ppa2_amd64.deb

 apt-get install ia32-libs

 apt-get -f install
 apt-get install ia32-libs

 ну а дальше как по маслу:

> apt-get install lib32usb

Compile pcscd:
> export CFLAGS="-m32"
> linux32 ./configure --enable-usbdropdir=/usr/lib/pcsc/drivers --disable-libhal
> linux32 make
> linux32 make install

а запускть эту кашу так:

Now it works:
> linux32 pcscd -f -d &

I'm getting mad with that reader and ubuntu 10.04
Starting from impossible usbfs mount (/proc/bus/usb does not exist)
Lucid comes with pcsclite 1.5.3 wich i need to replace with at least 1.5.4 compiled with libusb but i can't remove existing version (it force me to rmove another 6 or 7 useful packages like network manager and others)

Please update that fantastic guide and make it good for lucid, please...

hi ... hope this helps ...

steps for installing the device :
smartcard reader CASTLES TECHNOLOGY EZ100PU
on OS : GnuLinux Ubuntu Maverick (10.10)
-------------------------------------------


- connect the reader to usb port
- type command :
>>lsusb
check the device appears correctly as :
Castles Technology Co., Ltd EZUSB PC/SC Smart Card Reader


- install some usefull packages :
>>sudo apt-get install opensc openct pcscd pcsc-tools
>>sudo apt-get install libusb-dev libusb-0.1-4


- download the driver package from the manufacturer :
go to http://www.casauto.com.tw , select english
section Downloads
select PCSC smart card reader , ez100 series
download package : Linux(USupp... libusb...)


- download the pcsc-lite package :
https://alioth.debian.org
get pcsclite 1.5.5 (this version)


- create a local directory "EZ100"
- unpack pcsc-lite & driver packages in this directory


- install pcsc-lite : move to the directory you created : pcsc-lite-1.5.5 , then type :
>>./configure --disable-libhal --enable-libusb
(maybe an additional option can be used : --enable-usbdropdir= , and after the = sign you paste the directory path where you will install the manuf drivers , see below)
>>sudo ./make
>>sudo ./make install


- in the manufacturer package find the files :
ezusb.so
Info.plist


- in the pcsc-lite directory created before , create directories & copy files :
/pcsc-lite-1.5.5/drivers/
- (DIR) EZ100usb.bundle
--- (DIR) Contents
------ Info.plist
------ (DIR) Linux
--------- ezusb.so
--------- Info.plist


- at this point normally pcsc-lite should have the needed files to access your EZ100PU smartcard reader hardware , so now let's try it :


- launch the pcsc-lite daemon :
for example to launch the daemon including debugging messages (so you can see live what is going on while you insert the reader / smart card etc) :
>>pcscd -f -d &


- launch the scan of pcsc-lite :
>>pcsc_scan
then if it is working , you should get :

Scanning present readers...
0: CASTLES EZ100PU
Card state: Card inserted, etc etc ...

- if there is a problem , read the messages displayed from the pcsc-lite daemon

@mister_tea: Thank you very much!! It worked!

Now to use it with Firefox you just need to add a device to Firefox like this:

Open Firefox:
1) Edit->Preferences->Advanced->Encryption->Security Devices
2) Than click Load
3) Enter arbitrary (descriptive) name under Module Name
4) Under Module Filename enter: /usr/lib/opensc-pkcs11.so
5) Wait a second and your card is good to go
This worked for me on Maverick (Ubuntu 10.10)
