ASKCDCCCID switcher for GEN500

This utility allows the switch between CDC and CCID USB modes on GEN5XX (RDR518, CPL508, UCM108, CPL108, CPL118, MTB108, CPL528, PLG548). CDC mode uses a virtual communication port driver, while CCID mode uses a PC/SC driver.

*** Warning *** : do not use this utility with GEN500 firmware versions from 1.08a to 1.13a, because CCID was not implemented. This would result in an unusable device.
*** Warning *** : to update GEN500 firmware using USB connectivity, the CDC mode must be used.
