Good!

> Maybe a delay is needed for the reader to boot or something like that.

Created a delay for pcscd service:
nano /lib/systemd/system/pcscd.timer #same folder, where pcscd.service
is located
[Unit]
Description=Delay for Alcor Micro AU9520

[Timer]
OnBootSec=1min #hopefully is enough

[Install]
WantedBy=timers.target

systemctl disable pcscd.service # disabling pcscd
systemctl status pcscd.service #checking status

systemctl enable pcscd.timer #enabling timer
systemctl start pcscd.timer #starting timer

After 1 min I see:

# systemctl status pcscd.service

I guess even I restart PC, the card reader won't work either:
$ opensc-tool --list-readers
No smart card readers found.

... as we see bunch of errors in log.

It would be good to add https://ccid.apdu.fr/#CCID_compliant dev
package names, that are needed to be installed BEFORE running
./configure - then it would be easier. Currently there is needed to
run every time ./configure to get information, what package is yet
missing. But currently I even have libusb-dev library:
$ dpkg -l | grep -i libusb
ii  libgusb2:amd64                             0.3.4-0.1
            amd64        GLib wrapper around libusb1

Touch devices - library

...but still something is missing...

> But we are progressing.

Yes, that's good. Soon that PC goes away from me as people need to
work. Still I will have remote access, also via CLI. I need
temporarily borrow other external USB card reader (Omnikey Cardman
1021) in order to use ID-card.
