Run the following command to see which readers GnuPG's scdaemon sees:
```
$ echo scd getinfo reader_list | gpg-connect-agent --decode
```

For my YubiKey I get
```
D 1050:0407:X:0
OK
```
Instead of the "X" (which I get literally because apparently more descriptive 
information is missing) you will hopefully see a more descriptive string. 
That's the string you need to use for reader-port if you want to tell scdaemon 
explicitly which reader it should use. If scdaemon sees only one reader, then 
setting the option reader-port makes no sense.

If scdaemon doesn't see your reader then it's probably not (yet) supported by 
GnuPG's CCID driver. Then you could try to use pcsc by adding the option 
disable-ccid to your scdaemon.conf.

You could also try GnuPG 2.3.4.

Ingo
