How to get Soyo's K7V Dragon + smartcard reader working?
I've ran through a lot of search trying to find out how to get it working. As you may already know, this smartcard reader comes 'out-of-the-box' with this socket A motherboard.
As long as it comes with a special cable which connects it directly to the motherboard, i'm not sure which kind of interface (e.g., is it pci, serial interface?) do i have to configure, or even if it has kernel support.
Anyone can point me to some useful documentation, resources or whatever? If there's no kernel support but technical docs, i'll consider to start developping that device driver.
Thanks in advance,
Alvaro Hernandez
See the MUSCLE project at www.linuxnet.com.
The K7V uses the ITE8705F, which does not appear to be currently supported.
The datasheets and programming guides are freely available for download from www.iteusa.com.

You are not permitted to develop SDA readers, without violating patent issues. The protocol is psuedo ATA/ATAPI but a mix. Linux can support them but legally only via some direct access where application/user-space does the work.
