Ok, now I understand the issue. In brltty.conf, you have specified
braille-device  usb:USB0        # Specific USB device by serial number.

This is not correct.  Either

- you specify usb: and the first detected USB device will be used,
- or you specify usb:0 and the first serial USB device will be used,
- or you specify /dev/ttyUSB0 for using the serial emulating provided by
the kernel

but usb:USB0 doesn't mean anything to brltty.

> brltty -f /etc/brltty-conf -d /dev/ttyUSB0 -b bm -t text.de.tbl

That's not brltty-conf, but brltty.conf
