I connected the smartec st-ceo11em proximity card reader device to linux. I added all the permissions I could add and it worked, the connection to the device is there. However, it does not read data from it when I attach the card.
I tried to display the device itself in the console and this is what I got
enter image description here
As I understand it. The device has no support for data input and output. Then I took a different route. In linux itself I decided to see what data comes from the device and used these commands:
sudo cat /dev/hidraw0
When scanning the card, the response came back with this – ”’&%!!%&'(”’&%!!%&'(
Then I tried a different command:
sudo hexdump -C /dev/hidraw0
The reply came back like this:

And then there’s the third team:
sudo od -An -t x1z /dev/hidraw0

These are some obscure symbols. What could be wrong?
