SpringCore is the umbrella name to the new generation of SpringCard devices (Puck, SpringPark, etc.) that share the same MCU platform and the same overall architecture. springcoreflash.exe, a software from the SpringCore Tools suite, is the command-line utility to change a device’s firmware (i.e. to “flash” a firmware).
This article shows how springcoreflash.exe works.
SpringCore is the umbrella name to the new generation of SpringCard devices (Puck, SpringPark, etc.) that share the same MCU platform and the same overall architecture. springcoretool.exe, a software from the SpringCore Tools suite, is the command-line utility to retrieve and display all device’s technical data.

SpringCore is the umbrella name to the new generation of SpringCard devices (Puck, SpringPark, etc.) that share the same MCU platform and the same overall architecture.
To manage, configure and update these devices, SpringCard has developed SpringCard Companion, a complete and versatile hybrid solution that combines the ergonomics of a modern web application with the power of a gateway service running on Windows 10 (or later).
SpringCard Companion is the new all-in-one solution to manage, configure and update the latest generation of SpringCard “SpringCore” devices (Puck, SpringPark, etc). SpringCard Companion is an hybrid application that combines a clean, efficient and always up-to-date web front-end with a tiny local software, the Companion Service, that is the gateway between the cloud and the devices connected to your computer or local network.
As such, the Companion Service is also the base component to connect any application built for the web with the ‘physical world’ of PC/SC couplers and Smart Readers, using only simple WebSocket and REST API calls.
Before you start using SpringCard Companion Web application (available at companion.springcard.com) you should install the Companion Service on a Windows computer.
The aim of this tutorial is to configure a SpringPark as a Network SmartReader/MQTT client with a mosquitto broker. The SpringPark in this configuration acts as an MQTT client (using TLS). It sends its tags to the mosquitto broker hosted at mqtt.springcard.com.
For this howto, we will assume that:
The aim of this tutorial is to configure a SpringPark as a Network SmartReader using MQTT. The SpringPark in this configuration acts as an MQTT client and sends its tags to the broker.
