You should contact the support of the company that owns the reader for
wich you are writting the driver. Commonly they use to be very friendly to
give you support, (new platform supported implies more readers/cards
sales for them :-)
You can also take some code from the already written drivers. Mainly the
CT-API skeleton code written by David Corcoran (it is on the web site,
under code.html page) will help you with the low level functions to access
serial port, and the driver structure itself.
Regarding to Litronic, David Corcoran posted a message some days ago
saying he is already developing a CT-API for this reader.
Good luck,
Carlos
