[NFBCS] Linux: Query, HIMS Braille Edge:

[Willem Venter]

A correction, brltty must also be running and not just be installed.
You can check and enable brltty with systemd.
Googling brltty along with your exact model name will probably also
give you definitive info about support on linux, though at a glance
they do seem to be supported.
