Prototyping Kit for Philips Semiconductors' SmartMX 8-bit Smart Card Microcontrollers

Prototyping Kit for NXP Semiconductors’ SmartMX 8-bit Smart Card Microcontrollers

Ashling’s Prototyping Kit for SmartMX 8-bit microcontrollers (PKSC-SmartMX) is used to provide stand-alone device emulation for the NXP SmartMX Family.

After testing and debugging a Smart Card program (using Ashling’s Ultra-SmartMX emulator, for example) the designer can download their Smart Card ROM code to the Ashling PKSC-SmartMX and test the code in a fully functioning card reader system. The PKSC will behave like the target Smart Card containing the actual ROM code.

PKSC-SmartMX Features

Support for both IN-CLA7816-2 and SIM/GSM format interfaces. The PKSC-SmartMX has a 15 way D-Type connector allowing connection to either the optional Ashling IN-CLA7816USB or IN-GSM interface adapter boards.
Uses NXP Smart Card Emulation chip to ensure 100% accurate emulation of Smart Card operation.
PKSC PC program supports user program download to PKSC-SmartMX via PC’s USB or Serial Port.
1024KByte flash for non-volatile storage of downloaded application.
PKSC LED’s indicate status of the PKSC, the Target and the Emulation chip.
Support for 1.8v, 3.3v and 5.0v card reader operation.
Supplied with USB cable, RS232 cable, power supply and PKSC software.
May be upgraded to EPKSC-SmartMX which provides full source-level debug support using the KEIL uVision2 debugger interface.

Please ensure you specifically order the appropriate interface for your application. By default, the PKSC is not supplied with an interface adapter.

The PKSC Software Program

The PKSC software utility allows you to download programs to the flash memory located on the PKSC-SmartMX.

Support is provided for multiple file downloads. Each file can be downloaded at a specific offset thus facilitating the download of both operating system code and multiple application files (applets).

Support for download of both Ashling .CSO and Intel-Hex format files. A range of “SymFinder” utilities are also provided to allow conversion of Compiler and Linker output file formats into Ashling .CSO format, e.g. the SymFinder-OMF utility allows conversion of Keil Linker output files into Ashling .CSO format. Full support is provided for the SmartMX memory space.

Supplied with a full user manual, PKSC is a 32-bit application designed to work under all versions of Windows™ including 98/Me/NT/2000/XP.

PKSC-CFG provides the following features:

Configuration of the PKSC to support a wide range of different NXP Smart Card micro-controllers

PKSC-CFG supports multiple program download, thus facilitating Operating System and Applet development

Support for Intel-HEX and Ashling .CSO file formats

Converter utilities provided to convert all popular compiler formats (including KEIL)

Full support for Banked Application download.

Support for clearing of One-Tine Programmable (OTP) EEPROM

Full user manual and on-line help
