[Pcsclite-muscle] Simulating a CCID reader in software?

[Frank Morgner]

You Not only need the right cable, the pi's USB Chip Set also needs to Support Gadget Mode (i.e. at least pi 4):

More than a decade ago, i did exactly that with an openmoko Phone (See my Docs). You may need to extend the USB configuration (1), but my Emulator should also Work for you.
