FT_SCardListReaderGroups: Can not find the bR301 readers
Lectem opened this issue · 6 comments
My card reader is one with the C18 casing bR301 and the demo application can not connect to it.
It seems that the SDK FT_SCardListReaderGroups
is looking for devices with names starting by FT_
or ID_
but my reader is detected with name FeiTian73
, which means that it is ignored.
Is there something I need to do for my reader to use the correct name ? Is this a bug with the SDK ?
Note that the Demo code is still using the version 1.0.8 of the jar, and if I try with the 1.0.9 jar, it crashes. (there is no libFTReaderPCSC_1.0.9.a
nor libFTReaderPCSC_1.0.9.so
).
Note that I also tried the Private API, v1.0.9, and there is the same issue.
Somehow I was unable to get the device recognized though USB at all (I tried several times, windows update doesn't give me any new driver, and I tried with multiple USB cables that are known to work with other devices).
I can however connect through the bluetooth driver, but the FT_bR301_Update_Tool.exe
tool will not display the device firmware version. If I click connect, I get the following error:
Is there another way to know the device firmware version ?
Edit: My windows version is Win10 version 20H2 build 19042.1466
As mentioned, I couldn't get the reader working though USB, I tried with 2 different readers (same model) and 3 different USB cables (all known to work with multiple devices) but windows never detected them.
OK please send mail to me hongbin@ftsafe.com, and let us know where you buy from, sales will support you on this, thanks
Closing this in the meantime.
