Details of the changes will be provided from the next page onwards, with modifications from the first edition marked in yellow highlights. [Details of the Changes] ⚫ Description 1. Description Change of Outcome and Outcome Parameter for End Application (with restart On-Device CVM): ➢ The status of UI Request on Outcome Present has been changed from “Processing Error” to “Not Ready”. ➢ The Outcome has been changed from “End Application” to “Try Again”. 2. Clarification for TVR update before Generate AC processing in case of CDA failure: ➢ This specification bulletin is a clarification for TVR Byte 1 bit 3 (‘CDA Failed’) update in case of CDA failure: ✓ If CDA is failed due to 3.4.1.3, the Kernel shall set TVR Byte 1 bit 3 (‘CDA Failed’) to ‘1’ before Generate AC. ✓ If CDA is failed due to any reason other than 3.4.1.3, the Kernel shall set set TVR Byte 1 bit 3 (‘CDA Failed’) to ‘1’ after Generate AC. ➢ Requirement 3.4.1.4, which was removed by the first edition, has been reinstated.
