h2. Connectors
14 1 laforge
15
16 31 tsaitgaist
* USB: USB mini-B connector. The main connector. The host software communicates (sniffing,...) through USB with the board. It can also be used to flash the micro-controller (using DFU).
17
* serial: 2.5 mm jack serial cable, as used by osmocomBB. port used to debug the device (printf goes there).
18
* debug (P2): same as serial, but using the FTDI serial cable. *It is recommended to cut the voltage wire of the 6pin FTDI connector before plugging the cable into the simtrace.*
19
* jtag (P1): JTAG 20 pin connector to do hardware assisted debugging.
20
* BT1: battery connector (4.5-6V DC). normally the USB provides power, but the battery port can be used for autonomous use of SIMtrace. The sniffed data can be saved in the flash (U1).
21
* FFC_SIM (P3): to connect the flat flexible cable with SIM end for the phone.
22
* SIM (P4): put your SIM in there (instead of in the phone)
23
* reset (SW1): to reset the board (not erasing the firmware). If your are too lazy to unplug and re-plug the USB.
24
* bootloader (SW2): used to start the bootloader to flash the device using DFU. press when plugging in the USB.
25
* test (JP1): short circuit using a jumper to flash using [[SIMtraceFirmware#EnteringtheSAM-BAmode|SAM-BA]].
26
* erase (JP2): short circuit using a jumper to completely erase the firmware.

h2. Schematics, Gerber & Co
30
31
32 2 laforge
The schematics, Gerber files, etc. can be found in the 'hardware' subdirectory of the simtrace.git repository:
33 31 tsaitgaist
* http://cgit.osmocom.org/cgit/simtrace/tree/hardware (web browsing)
34
* git://git.osmocom.org/simtrace (git clone URL)
35 15 laforge
36
We're using Kicad as EDA tool.  Most of the work on the schematics and Gerber files has been done by Kevin Redon,
37
based on the original design by Harald Welte.

The latest schematics are also available as an attachment to this page.

h2. Interconnections
43
44
45 1 laforge
The hardware schematics are very, very simple:
46
47 31 tsaitgaist
* Connect SIM-RST with PA7
48
* Connect SIM-I/O with PA6(TXD0) and PA1(TIOB0)
49
* Connect SIM-CLK with PA2(SCK0) and PA4(TCLK0)
50
* Connect SIM-GND with GND

h2. Mode of operation
54
55
56 25 laforge
The USART of the AT91SAM7S is capable of T=0. The documentation only mentions it in clock-master mode, like you
57
would run it in a smart card reader to actively talk to a smart card. However, by using the USART input clock multiplexer,
58
you can use an externally-generated CLK like the one from the SIM card socket of the phone.
59
60
Unfortunately, the Rx Timeout feature of the USART is not working in T=0 mode, so I had to re-implement Rx timeout (waiting time)
61
handling by means of the TC (timer/counter) block 0.  Due to technical limitations, we will wait up to one byte (12 etu) more
62 1 laforge
than we should.
63 25 laforge
64 31 tsaitgaist
h2. Modi
65
66
67 1 laforge
SIMtrace has the possibility to work as:
68 31 tsaitgaist
* sniffer
69
* card reader
70
* card emulator
71
* man-in-the-middle
72 1 laforge
73
The SAM7S offers 2 T=0 capable USART ports.
74
One is connected to the phone (PA21-PA27), the other to the SIM (PA1-PA7).
75 31 tsaitgaist
The lines goes from the phone to the SIM through a bus switch (IC4="CB3Q3244":http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/sn74cb3q3244.pdf).
76 1 laforge
The bus switch offer 2 buses of 4 lines:
77 31 tsaitgaist
* The first is used to forward RST, CLK, and VPP (between the SIM and the phone). It is controlled by SC_SW (PA20)
78
* The second is used to forward I/O (between the SIM and the phone). It is controlled by SC_I/O (PA19)
79 1 laforge
80
The various modi require to interrupt different lines:
81
82 35 laforge
|_.SW_SC (PA20) |_.SC_I/O (PA19) |_.description |_.modus |
83
| L | L | phone and SIM directly connected | sniffer (use any USART port) |
84
| L | H | only I/O interrupted | MitM (use both USART port) |
85
| H | H | phone and SIM not connected | card read, emulator (use each USART port) |
86 1 laforge
87 35 laforge
As of now, still only the sniffer is implemented in the firmware
88 1 laforge
89
SIM cards support various classes (voltage levels): class A = 5.0V, class B = 3.0V, class C = 1.8V.
90
SIMtrace v1.x only supports class B (3.0V), which all actual SIM cards and phone also support.
91
To ensure class B is used, SIMtrace forces 3.3V (within the 3.0V±10% spec) by holding the VCC line at this voltage.
92
SIMtrace v2 will support all 3 classes.

h2. Revisions
95 1 laforge
96
h3. v2.0
97 31 tsaitgaist
98 34 laforge
This was formerly ongoing (but now long stalled) work.
99 30 tsaitgaist
The changes compared to v1.x are:
100 31 tsaitgaist
* ID-1 and ID-000 smart card slots (with presence detection): so to be able to also sniff credit card sized smart cards
101
* through hole USB Mini-B and Serial/Jack 2.5 connector: to be more robust
102
* properly support all smart card classes (A,B,C): better compatibility
103 1 laforge
* be able to forward voltage from phone to SIM or provide voltage from the board: ideal sniffer and reader
104 31 tsaitgaist
* use an microSD slot instead of built-on flash: easier data transfer
105 1 laforge
* a SWP sniffer (maybe)
106
107
j3. v1.4p-SAM3 (unreleased, available upon request)
108 33 laforge
109 31 tsaitgaist
* switch from AT91SAM7S to AT91SAM3S: it has more USB endpoints
110 34 laforge
** new firmware incomplete
111 1 laforge
112 34 laforge
h3. v1.4 / v1.4p (2014-06)
113 1 laforge
114 33 laforge
Changes:
115
* ensure PA0, PA1 and PA2 are high logic level at power-up (low interferes with SAM-BA operation)
116 1 laforge
** PA0 hard-wired to 3V#
117 33 laforge
** PA1 and PA2 get R25, R26 pull-up
118
* update to AT91SAM128D (previous we used AT91SAM128C which is now EOL)
119
* switch to alternative type of ferrite bead/filter, as old one is EOL
120
121 34 laforge
h3. v1.3 (2013-11)
122 33 laforge
123 32 zecke
{{thumbnail(simtrace_v13_front.jpg)}}
124 30 tsaitgaist
125 1 laforge
Changes:
126
* added a FPF2109 power switch
127 31 tsaitgaist
* added a zener diode on LDO to SIM to provide ~3.0V to SIM (closer to ISO 7812 specified class B)
128
* it is now possible to choose the power source for the SIM card: provided by the SIMtrace on-board LDO, or forwarded from the phone
129
* no production customizations required
130
* silkscreen redone (sadly missing on the produced batch)
131 33 laforge
* change SPI flash to S25FL032P0XMFI011
132 1 laforge
133 31 tsaitgaist
*BUG:* because of this new feature (selecting power source for the SIM), we wanted to be able to identify the v1.3 board.
134 1 laforge
To do that, we tied PA0 to ground. But this needs to be HIGH for the AT91SAM7S to be able to enter it's SAM-BA mode (for flashing the first time).
135
If you produce the board yourself, you have to cut the path between the left upper pin and the capacitor.
136 31 tsaitgaist
The version is now written in flash. To flash the firmware the first time (only), follow the dedicated [[ProductionFlashingV13|instructions]].

152

Changes:
169 31 tsaitgaist
* a critical capacitor is near the LDO
170
* some other capacitors are nearer to the CPU
171

172

This is identical to v1.0 on the schematics side, we simply altered the footprints of some components to accommodate
188
whatever the SMT factory had in stock.  Specifically the LED are 0805 instead of 0603, and the shottky diodes are
189 7 laforge
in a slightly awkward looking very large package.

units around June 14, 2011.

Never really was an official release.  However, a friend took the unfinished Gerber files and built 5 units.
227
228
Since the Gerber was not finished, we had to do lots and lots of re-work in order to make them work at all.
