TCA5013EVM performing I/O on the smart card interfaces

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TCA5013

Hey,

I'm a student in information technology/electrotechnics  and I try to get my hands on smart card technology. For this purpose I bought the TCA5013EVM board to use in combination with the MSP450 LaunchBoard. I already looked at the specs and the source code provided for the TCA5013 and managed to get the basic communication up and running. For now I am able to use the sample program to configure the SAM/UC via I2C. This does not allow me however, to communicate with a SAM or UC directly, which is what I am most interested in.
As I understand from the datasheet, I need an additional serial communication via IOMC1 (for UC), or IOMC2 (for SAM), however I think the TCA5013 already got a serial connection to the card. Why is that necessary? Is the TCA5013 only capable of relaying the signal on those pins to the cards, or is it possible to write commands to a register of the TCA5013 for it to send automatically? Is there any sample code for communication to the smart cards directly?

Also, is there a way to read the complete ATR from the device, since I could only find how to read from the buffer that stores the first 4 byte.

This is my first post in this forum, I hope I found the right section to put this question in.

Thanks in advance,
Till
