Well, strange behaviour is not seldomly caused by strange root causes.
I already explained that after upload, the program seems to be running normal, only the screen stays dark.
After a lot of trial and error, it seems that it is to do with how the software is uploaded. We are using CH9102 or CP210x (not even sure which one). But the reality is that after uploading, poweing off the Core2, the screen seems to function normal. This is repeated behaviour detected with several M5Core2. Probably we need to upgrade one of the driver. Still hesitating about that because on OSX upgrading can be a risky business. Anyway, it appears to be solved (dont understand it btw).
