Question Regarding RFIDDiscover Setup for MIFARE SAM AV3 Evaluation Board

[boussihak]

Hello,

I am using the MIFARE SAM AV3 Evaluation Board (UM11316). According to Section 7.4.1, RFIDDiscover requires the board to be connected through the ISO7816 interface using an Ashling IN-CLA7816 adapter and a compatible PC/SC reader.

Could you please clarify:

1. Is the Ashling IN-CLA7816 adapter mandatory, or can another ISO7816 adapter be used?
2. Which PC/SC readers have been validated or are officially supported with the evaluation board and RFIDDiscover?
3. Can you recommend a reader that is currently available for purchase?

Thank you.

Hello @boussihak,

Hope you are doing well.

MIFARE SAM AV3 Development Kit should already include a ISO/IEC 7816 Smart Card Reader Adapter that you can use.

Also, I will recommend you using PEGODA Contactless Smart Card Reader; this device can be used in PC/SC mode and integrates a contact card slot.

Regards,
Eduardo.
