 The cm5121 is a relatively stupid piece of hardware.  Basically a contact-based

+The cm5321 seems to be an improved version of the 5121, mainly with different

 This makes it the ideal device to learn and play with RFID, since you don't

+This is now the primary development target for librfid.  However, this doesn't
+mean that we don't want to support as many readers as possible.

+Another interesting new option is to cross-compile librfid to fit it _inside_
+the OpenPCD firmware, enabling a fully autonomous RFID stack (and RFID
