Hello,
I recently purchased a reTerminal DM. Following the official guidelines, I reinstalled the software and drivers. Despite this, the screen remains off. I’ve attempted installations with both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS, but the issue persists with no specific error messages noted during the process.
Has anyone encountered a similar issue or does anyone have access to the factory version of Raspbian for the reTerminal DM? Is there a recommended Raspbian version for this device? Any guidance or links to updated tutorials would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for the support.
Hi @bdrs.21 ,
If you are using the latest bookworm, this may be helpful.
