Subject: Rabbi Karo a Rishon? Further Questions

I believe that Rabbi Karo "received" "Smichah" from a "group of Rabbis"
so that according to some opinions he had "Mosaic Smicah".

I have two questions

* What exactly did he receive and by whom

* Could his received Smichah contribute to his being considered
a Rishon (This would supplement Mechy's question)
