  • Tutorial: SmartReader V2 and oscam

    Hi guys,


    i write this little tutorial for avoiding you to spend too much time like me.


    I bought a new smartreader v2 (grey case), and at the beginning i have a lot of problem.


    First of all, if you try to use this reader with oscam, oscam is not able to find it out.


    So: first solution (not so good), using mouse protocol, and device /dev/ttyUSB0 on pc. (only after upadating firmware, see after)


    Second solution (better) using smartreader protocol.


    1) download smargo tool from argolis.com

    Code
    http://www.argolis.com/downloads.html

    for linux (need libc >= 2.15)
    2) extract the zip, set chmod 755 to smartreader2tool and smartreader2update
    3) attach the smartreader v2, without smartcard, to an usb port.
    4) launch smartreader2update, it should update your smargo (i think is mandatory cause smartreader2tool detect the smargo only after this update, no idea why)
    5) launch smartreader2tool, you should see all the config
    6) launch smartreader2tool, with parameter -n. (./smartreader2tool -n AERTY675), where AERTY675 is the new serial of smargo (random). it should be a 8 character name. (by default smartreader2 doesn't have serial)
    7) if you need to change other parameter see ./smartreader2tool -h
    8) exit terminal, go to oscam webif, readers, scan usb, and check your reader is online wit your new serial (like that)
    Bus 003 Device 009: ID 0403:6001 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd FT232 USB-Serial (UART) IC
    iProduct 2 Smartreader2 plus
    iSerial 3 AERTY675
    9) in oscam.server, set your reader with protocol smartreader, and device SRv2;Serial:AERTY675, where AER.. is your smartreader2 serial, (like that)
    protocol = smartreader
    device = SRv2;Serial:AERTY675


    Hope it may help you :)


    Happy reading
