To get ORCA to work with it, you will have to install 'xbrlapi'
sudo apt install xbrlapi
If the Braille display isn't working at the text console, such as when
you press control-alt-f1, then installing 'xbrlapi' isn't going to help.
Try something like 'ps -ef|grep brltty'
If it is running then for some reason it doesn't recognize your
display. You may have to turn on logging for Brltty or change a setting
in '/etc/brltty.conf'.

Hello,
I'm blind and currently struggling with a fresh Debian install with
this image
<https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-dvd/debian-13.2.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso>.
I installed BRLTTY with apt after the installation process (orca was
installed without BRLTTY).
But my b.note display displays absolutely nothing, since it is in the
supported list.
I tried booting BRLTTY with
sudo brltty
sudo brltty -b bn
sudo brltty -b bn -d XXXX:XXXX
sudo brltty -b bn -d usb:vendorIdentifier=XXX+productIdentifier=XXX
with informations returned by lsusb
My b.note is listed in lsusb, but maybe it's only detecting the
keyboard because the braille b.note's keyboard is working.
I don't get errors, just orca saying the BRLTTY version.
I don't know what I can do next to solve my issue. I can't test other
connexion way, my b.note is only using usbc, no Bluetooth.
Thank for help and your great work, and I wish you a good year.
