Support of Lenovo CARDREADER CS21 Smartcardreader-Highstar for specific smart card

[Mato-Z]

Hello,

I have interesting problem. Laptop Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen4 model 21HF001ACK with Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, kernel 6.2.0-36-generic, libccid version: 1.5.0-2 has integrated smart card reader CARDREADER CS21 Smartcardreader-Highstar. I need use this reader for my work with several smart cards. One of them does not work correctly. Pcsc detect card, but it can not read information form card correctly - Card state: Card inserted, Unresponsive card. This smart card is Slovak eID card.

Possibly identified card (using smartcard_list.txt):
3B DF 96 FF 81 B1 FE 45 1F 87 00 31 B9 64 09 37 72 13 73 84 01 E0 00 00 00 00
[34m	National Identity Card of Slovakia (eID) (eID)[0m
[34m	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slovak_identity_card[0m

If I use other external smart card reader all works OK. Other smart cards work ok with integrated smart card reader too...

Recommended smart card readers from official national authority for Slovak eID:

Gemalto IDBridge CT30
Bit4id Minilector EVO
ACS ACR39U
HID Omnikey 3021
HID Omnikey 3121   

My question is, where is the problem? Has some problem integrated card reader, or driver or...?

Ubuntu 22.04 see integrated smart card reader like: Alcor Micro AU9540 01 00 CCID is used.

Official requirements for card readers, which can work with Slovak eID are:

Supported standards: ISO 7816 Class A, B, C, FCC Class B part 15, CE, VCCI, USB-IF, Microsoft WHQL
SC interface: PC/SC (2.01)
Supported protocols: T=0, T=1
Dimensions of smart card: ID-1
Transmissions rate: with PC: 12Mbps (USB 2.0), with smart card: to 344Kbps
Supported OS: Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, MacOS, Linux 32 bit / 64 bit
Power: USB

Unfortunately technical parameters of CARDREADER CS21 Smartcardreader-Highstar are not available.

Is there any possibility for use of this type of smart card with integrated smart card reader and with CCID with some way please?

Thank you.

You have the AlcorMicro AU9560 reader.
I fixed a bug with this reader in CCID version 1.5.2 https://blog.apdu.fr/posts/2023/01/new-version-of-libccid-152/
Try to update your libccid package.

@LudovicRousseau great, it works. Many thanks.
