Hyper Cards

Driver Linux Installation

A step-by-step Linux guide to install the Hyper Driver

Allows Hyper Smart Card racks to be used with existing applications by replacing Linux’s PCSC driver with our proprietary Hyper Driver.

1. Add Digidown APT repository

With the Hyper Card Rack plugged in, turn on Linux system and open a terminal via SSH.
Enter the following commands to add the Digidown apt repository to your trusted sources and install the driver. Check the architecture of your system and replace amd64 with your architecture. We support amd64, armhf and arm64 architectures.

wget -O - https://apt.digidown.net/keys/digidown.asc | gpg --dearmor > digidown.asc.gpg

sudo mv digidown.asc.gpg /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/

wget https://apt.digidown.net/config/amd64/digidown.list

sudo mv digidown.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/digidown.list

sudo chown root:root /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/digidown.asc.gpg

sudo chown root:root /etc/apt/sources.list.d/digidown.list

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https

sudo apt-get install digidown-hyperdriver

To test the driver has been installed correctly, insert a card into the rack and run the pcsc_scan utility as sudo:

sudo pcsc_scan

If the driver has been successfully installed, you should see the detection of the readers and the card details:
