First, try it with usb: or with no parameters just to be sure that it doesn't
detect the braille display as a USB device.

Next, check your kernel log messages to see whether the serial driver was
loaded, and which device node it was assigned - probably /dev/ttyUSB0. (Note
the capitalization here.) Use that device when invoking brltty.

If this doesn't work, I would suggest asking on the BRLTTY mailing list, where
other users and developers will be able to help.

I haven't heard of your particular model of braille display, so I don't even
know that it is supported. If it isn't supported yet, I'm sure this can be
corrected, especially if you are willing to assist the developers with
testing.
