Lowering ECM times

I'm trying out differnet settings to lower my ECM times. I'm using a Smargo and on my readerconfig I add

ins7e11 = 12. I know some people even put
ins7e11 = 15

My original ATR numbers are 11, on a NDS card. How high can I go? Is there a risk of burning my card or something?

From log:

smargo [mouse] ATR: 3F 7D 12 xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
smargo [mouse] Setting baudrate to 19200 bps very high..??
smargo [mouse] Calculated work ETU is 52.10 us ??????

what firwmare is on your smargo?
are you using a powered usb hub?

Firmware: 1.04
Yes, powered D-link usbhub. I hav'nt managed to get my Smargo working without hub...

235-260 on my NDS card.

Quote from steve67474

should be able to get it lower than that m8 post your oscam reader config remember to xx out your BK

This is not a NDS Slycard, it's a Scandinavian NDS card.
I'm down to 215-220 when I check Oscam log, but on the telly it shows 250-260..?? Fastest opening is when I put it in my DM500, close to 200 ms.

Stick it in an Omnikey reader. They are faster than Smargos.

You may also be able to clock up your MHz a little without fear of burning the card. I run my $ky card at 500Mhz and it returns a fast ecm without the card getting too hot.

Try upping the MHz to 368 and see if that does anything noticeable.

No difference with 368 settings. With 500 mhz got me scared...look:

smargo [mouse] Reader initialized (device=/dev/ttyUSB0, detect=cd, mhz=500, cardmhz=500)

smargo [mouse] ATR: 3F 00 not all numbers here...why???

smargo [mouse] ATR Fsmax is: 5 Mhz, clocking card to wanted user cardspeed of 5.00 Mhz (specified in reader->mhz)

VuDuo disconnected from 127.0.0.1

So, not working with 500mhz settings....no matching reader etc...

I have a Omnikey reader but it's not working with this, Oscam 1.20-unstable_svn, build r8639 (mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu). I think no pcsc support. Image BH 2.0.2 has support, but not Oscam or?

on your reader config you are running it as a mouse config TTYusb0 go to readers in oscam and scan usb ports you should see something like this...

Use the bus and device number and configure the reader like this and reboot oscam to see ecm times....

When I run lsusb I only get this:

Do you have another command? I tested with smartreader protocol earlier without device number though, without success. Maybe 200-215 ms is the best i can get without overclocking (risking?) the card to much. Like I said before, you can't compare it to a Sly card, it opens much faster...

Quote from steve67474

I didn't say run lsusb I said under reader in oscam there is a button to scan the usb. did you do that. If you are not getting what I posted then you may not have the smartreader support loaded in your server. did you use this tut....

I got the same result at Oscam webinterface (scan Usb):

I'm not running a PC server. My server is on a Vu+ box...when I tried to read it with smartreader protocol, I got "no matching reader" error.

I played around with different readers,settings and protocol. Omnikey did'nt give me as low ecm as expected, and also I was having problems to run it through a powered usb hub. Smargo 1.4, powered usb hub and and a newer Oscam is what I'm using. Changed protocol from mouse to smartreder and device /dev/ttyUSB0 to Serial:Reader xxxx.

Here's my working configs and logs...

[reader]
label = smargo
protocol = smartreader
device = Serial:Reader xxxx
boxid = xxxxxxxx
detect = cd
caid = 093E
mhz = 357
cardmhz = 357
group = 1
emmcache = 1,3,2
blockemm-unknown = 1
blockemm-g = 1
lb_weight = 300
ins7e11 = 15

--------------------------------------------------------

ins7e11 = 15 this is the most impotant part. Changed it first to ins7e11 = 13, then I got 150-160 ms. 15 weas perfect for me.
