I is a known "limitation".
I created a bug (in 2012) at https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=313579&group_id=30105&atid=410088 and will implement it "when I have time".

Contact me if you want to sponsor this development.

Since the PCSC project moved from alioth to salsa, the bug is now at https://salsa.debian.org/rousseau/PCSC/issues/4

Hi,

I'm using pyscard on Ubuntu 22 and need to support more than 16 readers
So I followed #8.

I re-compiled pcsclite and ccid latest version, and made sure everything was working fine with the default limit.
Then I re-compiled after changing 16 for 24 in both src/ccid_ifdhandler.h and src/PCSC/pcsclite.h.in.
But only 8 cards are visible and they don't even work.

Is there anything else I'm supposed to do ?

For a project of ours we patched the pcscd to increase the limit with the following two patches:
pcscd-max-readers.patch.txt
ccid-max-readers.patch.txt

We have it working with up to 14 readers.
