Description

If I insert a card connector but without a SIM card in the card connector then the reader (sysmoOCTSIM in my case) reports a card present.
My CCID driver then tries to power up the card. The reader does not respond before 60 seconds. I think that is a very long delay.

From the logs you can see that the reader answers with the "Card absent or mute" status only after 58660283 µs (or 59 seconds).

I have not checked the ISO 76816-3 to know the maximum delay allowed for the card to send the first ATR byte (TS).
I think 60 seconds is very long. I guess a timeout of 1 second is enough.

Yes, the timeouts might be longer than what the spec says in some cases, since they are mostly major errors and the actual time does not really matter, and I think the manual mentions that empty trays should not be inserted into the octsim...

...That being said the timeout does appears to be a bit too long, it is usually the whole time required for the whole expected transfer, so in this case 33 bytes * 9600 ETU -> ~5 seconds for the 6720 baud default rate at 2.5mhz is what I'd expect to see here...

If the card does not send the first ATR byte within the 9600 ETU then the reader could declare the card to be mute.
No need to wait for 33 bytes. The timeout could be much shorter than ~5 seconds (33 times shorter).

Should be fixed by https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/osmo-ccid-firmware/+/20710 - my original WT calculation was using GT instead of WT so it was ~90 times less, which was fine at the time, but then i forgot to update it after fixing the timeouts, so it was now suddenly far too long.

Wonderful, and fast correction.

I guess it is possible to update the reader firmware. Can you provide me a documentation and a new firmware?

The patches are not yet merged - new firmware ends up at https://ftp.osmocom.org/binaries/osmo-ccid-firmware/latest/ so as soon as the patches are merged and the nightly firmware build is done you can grab the bin file from there + use dfu-util (something like sudo dfu-util -d 1d50:6141 -D sysmoOCTSIM-0.2.9-e060.bin -R) to flash the octsim, it features a dfu runtime descriptor so you do not need to push the button for that.

I upgraded the firmware to version from 22-Oct-2020, version sysmoOCTSIM 0.2.48-4c76.
The problem is now fixed. I get:

As expected the timeout is now of 1.44 s. Much better.

I let you close the bug.
