SmarTEC provides multiple product configurations and add-on options to enable developers to easily enter the smart card market. Check this page for new offerings.

Our offerings provide the software and documentation that we produce. Other tools you will need are Visual C++ from Microsoft, a target chip compiler toolset from a vendor such as Keil Software, and a smart card reader from a company such as TX Systems.

You'll also need cards to do your pilot tests. Flash based parts is your best bet to get started. Contact the folks at MagCard to get set up with some Flash based cards.
