​
Released: 11 February 2026This version includes the following improvements, fixes, and known issues for the RTOS SDK:

​
Linux Sample Application (Portable C Sources)

SDK callback architecture refactored for better compiler compatibility (RM7434). JSON-RPC messages are now logged by default in the sample application (RM7471).

​
TLS Support

Secure server communication via TLS for both TMS and payment service connections (RM7021).

​
External Settlement (Remote Settlement)

TransactionComplete now returns an Additional_Parameters field with the data required for Nayax server-to-server External Settlement (RM7549):
  • SiteId: unique identifier of the transaction site
  • EntryMode: transaction entry mode (Swipe, Contact, NFC)
  • MachineAuTime: machine authorization time
  • NayaxTransactionId: transaction ID

​
e-Receipt Support

TransactionComplete now returns the data required for the Nayax e-Receipt.

​
CLP Card Type Detection

TransactionComplete now returns the closed-loop card type.

​
Reserved for Future Use

The following features are included but not yet fully tested and should not be used:
  • UpdateMachineAttributes API
  • Enhanced SendToReader functionality with TLS-based permissions
  • Push service integration

​
libecodsdk Library

  • Network Status Notifications
  • Threading Model: Dual-Thread Architecture
  • New configuration options in ecod_sdk_configs.h:
    • EC_ACK_TIMEOUT_MS: timeout for ACK responses (default: 1000 ms)
    • EC_ACK_MAX_RETRIES: maximum retries for unacknowledged frames (default: 0)
    • EC_SUPPORT_LONG_LIVED_SOCKETS: enable persistent socket connections
  • New status value: EC_DISABLED, indicates EMV Core is in a disabled state

​
Platform Layer

  • Added ecod_platform_init() for platform-specific initialization
  • Serial port data flushing on port open
  • Linux: SIGPIPE signal handling to prevent crashes on socket disconnections

​
Logging

  • Log files limited to 336 KB total to protect critical operations (RM7534)
  • Fix: Log upload now includes the most recent entries (issue #7357)
  • Auto-cleanup of excess log files on configuration change (RM7539)
  • New log level: EC_LOG_LEVEL_TRACE for detailed debugging
  • File logging support added
  • Improved log formatting with module prefixes

​
Configuration & Storage

  • Periodic file system cleanup for long-term reliability (RM7527)
  • Reader file-system cleanup to prevent storage exhaustion (RM7531)
  • Fix: Configuration file corruption during updates (RM7533)

​
Payment Parameters (emvCorePaymentParameters)

  • Removed: fee_cents and currency_code
  • Added: additional_receipt_data, is_final_amount, is_deferred (RFU)

​
Reader Communication

  • Backwards compatibility with ECOD v0.9
  • Device auto-recovers when reader misses configuration files (RM7573)
  • Reader configuration update reliability improved with retry mechanism (RM7575)
  • Socket response timeout handling improved (RM7578)
  • ACK/NAK handling with automatic retransmission
  • Better handling of fragmented serial messages
  • Frame size validation

​
Network Bridge (Socket API)

  • Nagle’s algorithm disabled for reduced latency on small packets
  • Optimized socket data arrival notifications
  • Automatic network connectivity monitoring (Linux)

​
User Interface

  • Fix: ReaderMessage events now include correct message index (RM7470)
  • Fix: “Present card” message displays immediately after PreAuthorize (RM7553)
  • Fix: LED blinking behavior corrected during Poll EMV (RM7585)

​
Reader Firmware

  • Safe dual-mode operation (TLV and JSON-RPC) (RM7571, RM7572, RM7584)
  • Firmware update package size reduced

​
Intermittent TLV Messages (RM7586)

Device may intermittently send TLV format messages instead of JSON-RPC.

​
Slow First Response After Reset (RM7592)

Serial communication: the first response after reset may be slow.

​
Virtual Machine Device Discovery

On virtual Linux machines (e.g., WSL or VirtualBox), the host sample application cannot find the device after it restarts:
This occurs because the virtual OS attaches the reader with a different name (e.g., hidraw1). Not relevant for physical operating systems.
