NOTIFICATION TEXT:
Verix V SDK version 3.8.6 contains the following significant changes and enhancements:

1. Added support for Vx690 Bluetooth/WiFi.

2. Corrected a problem in the EMV L1 Smart Card Driver that caused IFD_Transmit_to_ICC()
with command [00c00000FF] to return FD_Communication_Error when sending last 0xFF
bytes of 1K client credential data for a PSAM card in China. Reference Amdocs Case
140325-10216.

2.1. Added new API IFD_Transmit_to_ICC_Extended(), which should be used for

commands returning large amounts of data.

extern RESPONSECODE IFD_Transmit_to_ICC_Extended (BYTE

*CommandData, BYTE *ResponseData, WORD ResponseMax );

Parameters

CommandData: Data to transmit.

ResponseData: Received data.
ResponseMax: Size of receive buffer.

2.2. Added two new error response codes:

IFD_Error_BadParam: Returned if parameters to IFD_Transmit_to_ICC*

functions are not valid.

IFD_Error_Overflow: Returned by IFD_Transmit_to_ICC_Extended if response

buffer to too small to hold all of the response data from the
smart card.

3. Added ADK compatibility enhancements to allow a different owner to write a frame buffer to
the display.

3.1. New device: DEV_FRAME[] (“/DEV/FRAME”)

3.2. New API, alt_display_frame_buffer() that functions the same as

display_frame_buffer() but with a device handle added as the first parameter.

Note that the display mode must be switched to PIXEL_MODE before using
alt_display_frame_buffer():

int hdl = open(DEV_FRAME, 0);

clrscr();
set_display_coordinate_mode(PIXEL_MODE);
alt_display_frame_buffer(hdl, x, y, w, h, &frameBuf[0]);

4. Enhanced fread() and fwrite() to improve performance.

4.1. Added config.sys variable VBUF to define the default stream buffer size.

4.1.1.VBUF is in the same GID as the application.

4.1.2.Range of VBUF is 128 to 4096.

5. Corrected issues in non-standard .h files in the SGI open source STL. Reference Amdocs
Case 140619-13742.

6. Added VxSTLpi.a for linking with position independent code (compiled with –fpic) such as a
dll.
