librfid 0.1.0 RPM package for Fedora Core 6

Kushal Das maintains a great ready build RPM package for the Fedora Core 6 distribution. librfid is a Free Software RFID library. It implements the PCD (reader) side protocol stack of ISO 14443 A, ISO 14443 B, ISO 15693, Mifare Ultralight and Mifare Classic. Support for iCODE and other 13.56MHz based transponders is planned. The RPM package allows you to use the reader instantly on a Fedory Core 6 based system by issuing:


#yum install librfid

#yum install librfid-devel

 

On you can also find some great practical applications for the OpenPCD reader - for example a application that automatically locs and unlocks your KDE desktop while a particular RFID card is in the proximity of the OpenPCD reader.
