Software installation / Quickstart guide

Software installation

To install the necessary software for the Infi nity USB Unlimited insert the accompanying CD in your CD-ROM drive, the installation will automatically begin.

If the installation does not begin automatically, you have to run setup.exe on the CD-ROM.

During setup you have to choose an installation folder, or just use the default folder.You will have the option of creating a shortcut on your desktop or in the quick launch bar. Use these shortcuts to start the software when installation is done.

Quickstart guide

Start the Infi nity USB Unlimited software by using the shortcuts created during installation.

First time the software is started you have to select a language. The language can be changed in the menu

‘Options > Language’.

Programming a card requires 3 simple steps.

Quickstart guide

1. Insert your smartcard with the contacts facing upwards like illustrated.

The software will show that a card has been inserted and will try to detect the card.When the card has been detected it is automatically selected on the list. Make sure the correct card has been selected before proceeding.

2. Load one or more data fi les

Different smartcards have different memory areas, most have a fl ash-area, an internal EEprom and an external EEprom. Usually one fi le for each area needs to be loaded depending on the application usage.

3. Click the big ‘Write’ button

This begins programming of all the loaded fi les. If you wish to program only one particular memory area, push the arrow part of the ‘Write’-button and select the area.

Advanced software usage

General

1.The left part of the statusbar indicates if Infi nity USB Unlimited is connected.

2.When a card is inserted in one of the 2 smartcard connectors, the icon in the upper left corner will change, initial details about

the card will be shown in the lower right corner.

3.The cardtype can manually be selected from the list.The list will be limited and only display the cards that contains the CPU/OS detected.

The CPU, memory, OS of the card will be listed underneath.

4.If you click the ‘Detect’ icon a detection window will appear. If you right click the icon you will have the option of directly detecting and selecting the card.

5.Open, save and show data fi les.

6.Shows which fi les are opened or read from a smartcard.The small bar underneath each fi lename shows which areas of the fi le contains data. If you want to remove a fi le or previously read data, mark the fi lename and press DEL on your keyboard.

7.Use the Write, Read or Erase buttons to execute an action on the card. If the left part of the buttons are used all tasks are performed automatically but if the drop-down menus on the right side are used, single tasks can be selected. If one of these actions are selected, a status window is opened showing detailed information about current and fi nished tasks, aswell as the estimated time remaining for the current operation.

If an error occurs during programming of a card, the button ‘Show errors’ can be used to display detailed information about where the error occured.

8.The ‘Advanced’ button opens or closes advanced options for the currently selected card.

Advanced software usage > Detect

 

Detect

ENGLISH

The detect window makes it possible to identify exactly which

 

card is currently used.This form of detection might erase

 

parts of the card so it should not be used on cards containing

 

important data.

Advanced software usage > Fuses / LED states

Fuses

Fuses are advanced settings which are programmed into the CPU. Fuses are often used to protect the CPU from being read after it has been programmed, and to select which oscillatortype is used.

Certain cards have many different fuses and it is necessary to read the datasheet for the CPU to gain further knowledge of these.

For all cards, fuses default to the optimal settings for most uses.

For more information about fuses, visit:

www.microchip.com

Settings

Settings for Infi nity USB Unlimited are accessed from the menu ‘Options > General’ and are divided into 3 tabs: General, Advanced and Startup.

General

‘Autoload last opened fi les’

Automatically loads the last opened fi les, when the application starts.

‘Remember directory on fi le load’

Remembers which folder you last opened fi les from.

‘Use embedded Int. EEprom in fl ash-fi le’

Some hex fi les contain data for both the fl ash and int. EEprom, this is normal for PIC-based smartcards but has to be enabled for AVR-based smartcards, by checking the checkbox.

Advanced software usage > Settings

‘Auto close status window when programming is successful’ When programming a smartcard a status window is displayed with information. If this option is enabled the status window automatically closes when programming is fi nished.

‘Beep when done’

Generates a standard Windows sound when programming is fi nished.

‘Supress general warnings’

If enabled most minor warnings are not displayed.

‘Disable verify of ext. EEprom’

Normally data is automatically verifi ed when programming a card, this option makes it possible to disable verifi cation of ext. EEprom.This could increase speed during this type of programming, but errors would not be discovered.

UK . ENGLISH

INFINITYTM USB UNLIMITED

Advanced software usage > Settings

‘Restore CPU-memory after ext. EEprom activity’

When the ext. EEprom is accessed the CPU on the card is overwritten with a bootloader.This makes the previous data on the CPU invalid. If you enable this option the data on the CPU will be read out before it is erased, and restored when ext. EEprom activity is done. If the CPU is protected from read-out, a warning is issued and you can choose to continue without the possibility to restore the CPU contents.

‘Erase ext. EEprom before programming’

The software optimizes the data so as little data as needed is written to the card. Normally an ext. EEprom is not erased

before programming because new data can overwrite it without prior erase. Some applications expects that an ext. EEprom contains the value 0xFF at empty locations. If this option is enabled all unused locations will be fi lled with 0xFF.

Advanced

‘Autodetect CPU on card when card inserted’

When a card is inserted the software will try to detect the CPU on the card automatically.

‘Limit card selection based on detected CPU’

Multiple cards can contain the same kind of CPU, with this option cards that do not contain the detected CPU are removed from the list.This will make selecting the relevant card simpler.

‘Autodetect CPU before write/read/erase’

Verifi es that the CPU on the card matches the CPU on the selected card, before writing, reading or erasing a card.

‘Automatic full detection, when card is inserted’

If needed the application will prompt you to completely detect the card that is inserted. Should only be used if you are unsure which card you are using.

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting

[Question 1]: I have connected the Infi nity USB Unlimited but the LED is fl ashing red.

[Answer 1]: If the Infi nity USB Unlimited is fl ashing red when connected, it means the driver is not installed correctly. If the driver has been attempted installed before, try connecting the Infi nity USB Unlimited directly to another USB port on the PC, and try another USB cable.

[Question 2]:When I insert a card in my Infi nity USB Unlimited the error ‘No CPU could be detected on the inserted card’ is displayed.

[Answer 2]:This error could be caused by dirty contacts on the card, make sure they are clean or clean them with a lint free rag and isopropyl alcohol.

Make sure the card is facing the right way, contacts facing up for regular smartcards and contacts facing down for SIM/GSM

smartcards.The error could also indicate that the card you are trying to use cannot be used with the Infi nity USB Unlimited.

[Question 3]:When I program a card the error ‘Could not verify location’ is displayed.

[Answer 3]:This error typically arises when older or worn out cards have errors at certain memory locations.Also make sure the contacts are clean. If you keep receiving this error try another card.
