We got our hands on an HID OMNIKEY 3121 card reader that we were going to use to program a sysmocom sysmoUSIM-SJS1 SIM card on a Fedora 25 (64bit).
After attaching the card reader on the host machine, we executed lsusb to verify that we could see the card reader on the host machine.
Among the results we got the following line indicating that the card reader was available.
$ lsusb ... Bus 003 Device 002: ID 076b:3022 OmniKey AG CardMan 3021 ...
Then we added a SIM card to the reader to prepare it for reading and updated our system:
sudo dnf upgrade -y;
To read and program the SIM card we decided to use the pySim-prog utility (http://git.osmocom.org/pysim/about/).
pySim-prog is a small command line utility written in python, which is used for programming various programmable SIM/USIM cards like the sysmoUSIM-SJS1.
To use the utility, we first installed the needed dependencies using the following command:
sudo dnf install ca-certificates python-pip swig python-devel pcsc-lite-devel git pcsc-lite redhat-rpm-config pcsc-tools -y;
Then we started the pcscd service as such:
sudo systemctl start pcscd;
Please note that if you want to automatically start the pcscd service at each boot execute:
sudo systemctl enable pcscd;
Then we used sudo pcsc_scan tool to test that the reader is functioning properly as it regularly scans every PC/SC readers connected to the host.
We got some data similar to this:

We hit Ctrl+C to terminate the application.
After this successful test, we proceeded into getting the software of pysim and installing an additional python dependency called pyscard through pip.
sudo pip install --upgrade pip; sudo pip install pyscard;
Later, we cloned the pysim repository:
git clone http://git.osmocom.org/pysim/; cd pysim;
And finally, we started using it.
Read SIM information
To read the information on the SIM card, we executed the following
sudo python2 pySim-read.py --pcsc-device=0;
And got this back:
Reading ... ICCID: 0000898100110000821 IMSI: 900659000010170 SMSP: fffffffffffffffffffafffafffbffffffffffffffff0581ffffffffffe1ffffffffffffffffff005155f5ffffffffffff000000 ACC: 0200 MSISDN: Not available Done !
Write SIM information
To write to the SIM new information we executed the following:
sudo python2 pySim-prog.py --pcsc-device=0 --type sysmoUSIM-SJS1 --pin-adm=81297587 --mcc=901 --mnc=71 --imsi=901700106590000 --iccid=8982211003300110000 --opc=3987059FEF153333661279FB1FC74BE0 --ki=1DAA6FA8B2549F20D0F42113E62B9925;
Which resulted in the following successful message:
