Yes. But I have the colors.

I could not find a real problem in your logs.

Your PC/SC application is NOT efficient and you could gain of lot of CPU cycle.
- replace SCardStatus() busy loop by SCardGetStatusChange()
- do not use SCardBeginTransaction()/SCardEndTransaction() with no
APDU exchange in between. It is useless, unless I missed something.

Are you the author of the PC/SC application running on your board?
