Here's a link to the "getting started" bit of this pain in the *** device.

In order to use the built-in DSI display, "drivers" need to be installed.

Additionally, using the Raspberry Pi imager and ensuring all the settings for WiFi are correct and ensuring that the settings for SSH are enabled with the imager, the device fails to connect to WiFi and thus, fails SSH in order to install the required drivers.

I am successful at connecting via SSH with RetroPie and the basic Raspberry Pi OS (that also, once the default OS is overwritten requires the "drivers" to be installed).

Again, Additionally, I tried connecting an external HDMI display, and although I DID see a login screen, using a wired keyboard would not type, and my mouse (Logitech M570) would not move the mouse cursor.

I am STUCK.

IS there a way (using windows (preferred) or Raspbian) to create a custom ISO that includes the required drivers? (and friggin keyboard support?)

Installing the drivers requires running a script?

I would like to continue to use this device as is has a TON of potential BUT:

***I am a COMPLETE Linux novice***

WHY Kali? Because.
