I recently bought some Smart Cards from [[http://www.smartcardsource.com/contents/en-ca/d9_JCOP-NXP-cards.html and has some comments/issues getting them up and running. They were NXP JCOP Cards, J2A040.

Round 1: GP Shell and Card Personalization

I was using GPShell for my initial tests, you can download from [[http://sourceforge.net/projects/globalplatform/files/|Here. There is a good [[http://sourceforge.net/p/globalplatform/wiki/Home/|Wiki too. The first test was attempting to list all the things already on the card. The results were less than satisfactory:

C:\>GPShell-1.4.4>GPShell.exe listgp211.txt
mode_211
enable_trace
establish_context
card_connect -readerNumber 1
select -AID a000000003000000
Command -> 00A4040008A000000003000000
Wrapped command -> 00A4040008A000000003000000
Response <- 6A82
select_application() returns 0x80216A82 (6A82: The application to be selected could not be found.)

As it turns out you need to have the cards personalized (or fused) before you can use them. With GP 2.1.1 you can check this with the following script:
