FX205SE 1.9.1

December 7, 2023

Bugfixes

  • Fix random NFC stack crash on boot:on rare occasions Contactless interface doesn’t work at boot
  • High power consumption: in version FX205SE,1_v1.8.0, standby current is too high, leading to a unnecessarily fast discharge in standby mode

Improvements

  • Improve camera focus speed
  • USB device filtering: Adding a system property to limit the USB devices that can be connected to the Famoco device, or to forbid a specific USB device to be enumerated on the Famoco device. This feature introduces two blacklists (and maybe some white list in the future) containing the USB port to blacklist and a vendor ID product ID couple to block. This feature is manageable as of MDM release 2.22 but not open to end customers because of its setup complexity. Please contact support should you need this feature
  • Wifi Mac randomization: by default, Android 10 randomizes mac address to preserve end-user privacy. In corporate environment, some customers require fixed mac address for security reasons
  • Intent Firewall customization: FX205SE uses an Android feature called intent firewall which allows for the enforcement of intents based on rules defined in XML files; see Android Intent Firewall - Carter Yagemann. Because of the risks associated to allowing customers to modify it, famoco provides a default set of rules and can issue new ones for specific requests; please contact support if you believe you need it
  • Settings app disabling: Improve security of the native Android Settings application
  • Update Famoco Layer to v3.13.1: See Famoco Layer 3.13.1 release note

Improvements

  • Default USB: when a device is plugged through USB, it is possible to pick a behavior for the Settings under Dev options (Charging, MTP, PTP, Ethernet, Audio source, MIDI). The feature consists in being able to force the default value for that choice from the MDM
  • Led customization: the green charging LED should be configurable depending on the percent of the battery voltage. Indeed there is a famoco feature to limit the battery regulation charge voltage to lengthen battery lifetime. Without this feature, the led color is red while it should be green

FX205SE 1.4.0

September 16, 2022

Improvements

  • Auto SIM lock: this feature allows to automatically unlock the Famoco device with a specific SIM card using a calculated PIN code
  • EMVCo polling dynamic activation: so far, the polling type can be changed by using a specific config file. And so, it is not done dynamically, and it needs the restart of the NFC stack. This feature makes it dynamic

FX205SE 1.3.0

June 23, 2022

Improvements

  • NFC sound: allow custom NFC sounds
  • SAM interface: proprietary instruction byte to communicate with a SAM. The ISO-7816 standard doesn’t allow to send instruction byte “0x6X” or “ 0x9X”, but the bytes are commonly used for SAM proprietary commands (for NXP but also for some other SAM manufacturers). Previously, our devices as well as most of the smartcard reader on the market are quite permissive on that point. This is why we took the decision to be permissive and not enforce this check. It become the responsibility of the OMAPI user to have a good usage of this
  • Security: Pathtrust: Pathtrust aims to protect against an attacker that has achieved privileged r/w on a given flash file-system
  • Security: adb hardening
  • OMAPI/SIM: make the SIM cards accessible through the OMAPI
  • OMAPI/eSE: make the embedded secure element accessible through the Android API
  • Famoco Layer: upgrade Famoco Layer to 3.8.2
