Duolabs strikes back with the new Cas Interface 2 Add-On.
This wonderful tool connects to the Cas Interface 2 External Output port. This will add some interesting features to the Cas Interface 2.
The tool includes the Dummy Card that connects to the 20 PIN connector on the Add-On. All the detailed instructions regarding the usage of the Add-On itself can be downloaded from our Download area. A new user manual will be available supporting the Add-On.
To make the Add-On working you have to use Cas Interface Studio 4.0 or higher.

Here comes the new amazing features given by the Add-On.

Let's roll with:

Smarcard programming tool:

PIC-based: Wafercard (16C84, 16F84, 16F84A) Goldcard (16F84/16F84A + 24C16) Silvercard (16F876/16F877 + 24C64) Greencard (16F876/16F877 + 24C128) Greencard2 (16F876/16F877 + 24C256) Bluecard (16F84A + 24C64) CanaryCard (16F628 + 24C16) EmeraldCard (16F628 + 24C64) Singlepic (16F876, 16F627, 16F628).

AVR-based: Funcard/Funcard2 (AT90S8515 + 24C64) PrussianCard/Funcard3 (AT90S8515 + 24C128) PrussianCard2/Funcard4 (AT90S8515 + 24C256) PrussianCard3/Funcard5 (AT90S8515 + 24C512) PrussianCard4/Funcard6 (AT90S8515 + 24C1024) PrussianCard5/Funcard7 (AT90S8515 + 2*24C1024) JupiterCard (AT90S2343 + 24C16) JupiterCard2 (AT90S8535 + 24C64) FunCard ATmega161 (ATmega161 + 24C64) FunCard ATmega163 (ATmega163 + 24C256) FunCard Atmega8515/Funkey2 (Atmega 8515 + 24C256) BlackCard (ATmega128 + 24C256)

Programs all the "standard" MCU smartcard at a speed around 30% faster than the fastest programmer around.
More... this speed can be accellerated thanx to the fully flashable firmware of the Cas Interface 2 and the FULL SPEED USB connection. All the programmers around doesn't support the FULL SPEED it's only Low Speed connection and the firmware cannot be chaged remotely. With the Cas Interface 2 and the Add-On this can be done!!

User friendly multilanguage software interface. Automatic Smartcard detection and recognition, Smartcard's picture, very easy to use and continuolsy updated software. All features for all MCU are allowed.




Pheonix/Smartmouse 3,579/3,68/6,00 Mhz Mode:

Phoenix and Smartmouse via RS-232 port. This can be used with 3rd party software to run their software and can be suitable for most of the Smartcard around such as GSM, Titanium Card (using Titanium original software), M II, BasicCard, Penta V3, MegaPIC.

Different clock oscillator can be used thanks to the internal programmable clock generator. There are some third party software requires different clock to syncronize with the Smartcard or to double the frequency (Example 3,579*2=7,158 Mhz).

IN THE NEXT FUTURE WE WILL RELEASE A 100% SEARIAL PORT EMULATOR USING THE USB PORT. This will allow you to use a virtual Com port made by our driver and use a 3rd party software through the USB connection. This feature will be added in the near future.


Titanium Card programming, Updating and Unlooping (using Cas Interface 2 software):

Programming:

The Add-ON programs the Titanium Cards without damaging them.
Titanium Card is a secure device and it's very easy to damage it during programming if the programmer doesn't calculate the voltages, peaks and glitches.
The Titanium's Operating System it's very easy to be permanently damaged. It means that the card cannot be programmed anymore. The Add-On has been released to minimize this risk.
Erasing procedure it's 100% performed in 1 second without any risk!

Updating:

Operating System can be updated till the last version of the smartcard.

Unlooping (Titanium Card repairing feature):

This unlooping procedure allows the user to repair damaged Titanium Cards that returns no ATR after programming. In less than a second the Card comes back with the original Titanium OS ATR.
This procedure works on some original and not original Titanium card. Some Titanium card could be permanently damaged and no back-alive procedure might take effect on the card. We don't warrant 100% that the cards comes back alive! No programmer on the Market can do it (as far as I know) with real effects till today!


X-Cam programming:

The new Add-On thanks to the Dummy Card can program the X-Cam. The Cam can be programmed using the Cas Interface 2 software.
Very fast and reliable the Cam will be programmed in a while.
Due to the un-understandable non-willness of co-operating by the X-Cam developing crew the Cam programming must be done using a remote receiver and cannot be fit into the Cas Interface 2 PCMCIA connector.
We are very disappointed by developer's behaivor. They are scared of Project ripping this is really senseless. We are doing as much better as we can to make this working! All the software developing has been done by independent Duolabs's research!

This is the first programmer ever released to use the N-Programmer to program a Cam using the USB port.

Receiver Programming:

This usefull feature allows you to program most of the receivers around connecting the the Jtag connector.
DreamBox faulty bootloader can be restored in a while whitout using a special connection cable. Direct connection can be done using using the 20 PIN Connector on the Cas Interface 2 Add-On.
Xtreme Receiver's Embedded Ucas can be programmed without any Slow Down Board and direct connecting using the 20 Pin Cable. More instruction about the connection will be given on the Download page of our web site.

Coming next:

Dragon Cam programming.

Dragon Cam programming using the Dragon Loader card will be supported next.
Thanks to the developers of this Cam (DreamMultimedia) for the technical information we are gonna receive to make this great Cam Cas Interface 2 compatible.
