I started with PCSC. But they are not interested in non CCID devices (and it seems you have to re-implement the whole communication routines, if your device is not a CCID one...). On the other hand its not a question which userland application is in use. Its only a question how to talk to a kernel driver for a SmartCard interface in a generic way.
