DESFire SAM AV2, NFC, N9, K Computer

Just "Activated" a DESFire SAM. ie converted it from AV1 to AV2
I can write keys to SAMs easily enough
but the commands to write keys to Cards are more obstruse
even with NXP's (confidential) Documents - hint... the documents occasionally have a "Standard" and also a "Worked Example"
which may contradict. Try the "Worked Example"

To write to Cards we tried to install the Collis Card Tool, but right now we appear to lack
Collis Conclusion Runtime Environment 2.1.2 -2.9.9
- Now thats why I like CDROM installs. People used to try to get Every Neccessary Thing on a CDROM...

first international NFC payments service is to go live this summer, Thierry Barba,...at Orange Group... GSMA's Mobile Money Summit in Singapore.

..Quick Tap NFC service, launched in the UK by Orange and Barclaycard last month will be able to use their NFC phones to make payments in Nice, the test site for the French Cityzi NFC project which is also backed by Orange. The French system is set for a nationwide commercial rollout of NFC services from the spring of 2012 and Orange expects to sell 500,000 NFC phones in France this year.

Nokia's N9 does NFC
MeeGo, the Linux-based open source operating system born from the February 2010 shotgun marriage of Nokia's Maemo and Intel's Moblin and left at the altar when Nokia hooked up with Windows Phone 7, is an "unstoppable force" that speeds device-developers' time-to-market..... MeeGo Conference in San Francisco on Monday by the executive director of The Linux Foundation Jim Zemlin

(local Store says they will have  GalaxySII 'soon" at ca $1,100)

The K Computer ....

Japan’s Riken Advanced Institute.. ..fastest supercomputers.
... peak 8.77 PFlop/s..sustained 8.2 PFlop/s [Peta = E15]

Previous: ..Tianhe-1.. November.. 4.7 PFlop/s, K does not use GPUs..It’s extremely difficult to exploit ..a GPU supercomputer.

K ... 68,544 2.0 GHz Fujitsu Sparc VIIIfx CPUs with 8 cores each, ..(548,352). Each core .. 16 (double-precision, DP) GFlop/s,.. slightly more than Intel.. Sandy Bridge..
45 nm chip .. 8 flop/clock/core.

8-core processor ...58 Watts.
currently 9.9 MWatts ..When finalized,... 10 PFlop/s ... 11 MWatts.
..human Brain .. 10 - 38 PFlop/s ... memory 3584 TB
we may be able to simulate a human brain next year or within 3 years.

  1. that "we may be able" is a quote from conceivablytech.
    Personally, I doubt we will ever "simulate a human brain" in any complete way.
    I also disbelievein the 'Singularity'. AI in general, Uploading minds, and all that junk.

  2. I bunch of PetaFlops doesnt have any wants or desires, so why would it 'improve' itself. And If we sent it out to explore the place, surely it would just stop.
    Only Meatware knows desire, fear, curiosity. You just cant insert these into a logic-gate box.

  3. News: Collis came through with their runTime environment...

    I worked out how to change keys on a DESFire card
    (hint Use the diagrams, not the written specs)
