Phoenix reader on rs232 port problem

[007.4]

I've recently upgraded from a DM7000 to a Vu+ Duo and need to use a Phoenix reader on the rs232 port. The card works at 6MHz.

Using the same working oscam configuration as before, the card does not initialize properly.

I had to change the device location to

device = /dev/ttyS0

to get the port recognised.

Is this port enabled for a card reader in the Vu+?
Do I need any additional drivers?
I've done a search but found no answers.

The internal slot does not appear to work at 6MHz either.

[BTW There is a similar problem with the DM7025 - the serial port does not work for a card reader.]

That serial port might dont have all the pins connected, and only have Ground,Tx , Rx.
If thats the case then the serial port is only usable for programming,since you dont have any other lines that could be used for signaling like reset.Also it doesnt need any new drivers,normal serial port drivers in kernel are fine.

But you could use a usb to serial converter if you want to use that phoenix reader or use directly one of the usb readers, i would go for an easymouse usb.

Thanks for the answer!
I suspect you are correct. I think I'll need to go down the USB route.

I've got an Omnikey. I'll have to try and install the PCSC drivers and see if that works on the Vu+.

Cards that are not T=0 (ndz,viaccess),like conax and irdto wont work on omnikey.
