Description     : Firmware and tools for OpenPCD, the free 13.56MHz RFID rea
der and writer design

OpenPCD is a free hardware design for Proximity Coupling Devices (PCD)
based on 13,56MHz communication. This device is able to screen
informations from Proximity Integrated Circuit Cards (PICC) conforming
to vendor-independent standards such as ISO 14443, ISO 15693 as well as
proprietary protocols such as Mifare Classic. Contactless cards like
these are for example used in the new electronic passports.

The intention of the OpenPCD project is to offer the users full hardware
control of the RFID signal and to provide different output signals for
screening the communication. With already existing Free Software from
the OpenMRTD project for implementing the PCD side protocol stack of
various RFID protocols, this project will happily extend the free
toolchain around RFID verification.
