Nice project.

I did not know this feature of qemu. Thanks for the info.

My goal is to be able to simulate a CCID reader in software so that I
can control what the "reader" sends and to connect this physically to
a computer.

I was thinking of using a Raspberry Pi to execute Frank Morgner's "USB
CCID Emulator" and connect the Raspberry Pi to a computer USB port.
I will have to find a male-male USB cable.

If I understand correctly what "USB CCID Emulator" does it should work.

I am open to other ideas :-)

Bye
