SDI011 REFERENCE MANUAL 21
4.1.2. Software architecture
Applications can interface with the driver directly through the PC/SC interface.
The SDI011 driver implements PC/SC v2.0 API towards upper layers and uses SCM firmware
commands encapsulated in CCID-like protocol for the contactless slot and full CCID for the
contact slot.
The SDI011 contactless driver handles all the contactless-related intelligence i.e. ISO/IEC
14443 and the SDI011 firmware handles the raw transport of data to and from the contactless
cards.
