This is a summary Document. A complete document is available on the Gemplus Web site. www.gemplus.com

The connection with the host processor is achieved via a serial asynchronous link; the rate can be selected from a range from 1200 to 115,200 bps.

The software inside the GemCore chip handles a communication protocol with the host system called the Gemplus Block Protocol (GBP).

A complete set of documentation is available on the Gemplus web site: http://www.gemplus.com.

A GBP Interface Library Kit can be provided, upon request. It consists of the source code of the GBP communication layer between the host and GemCore. It is written in the C language. See the Gemplus developers’ site at www.gemplus.com. Enquiries can also be posted to cardreader@atmel.com.
