SmartMX DBox

The Keil SmartMX DBox enables software debugging and integration testing for Philips SmartMX™ smart card controllers. It is based on the Philips SmartMX bondout device and integrates seamlessly with the µVision IDE to provide a high-performance development and debugging platform.

The SmartMX DBox connects directly to the µVision Debugger and provides a card reader interface with a contactless antenna and USB connection. It offers RAM and Flash ROM operation and may be used for both debugging and software verification prior to mask ROM production.

Included Components

The SmartMX DBox Base Unit.
Card Reader Adapter including ZIF socket.
15-pin Card Reader Adapter cable.
9V Power Supply.
9-pin Serial Cable for PC COM connection.
