Everything compiled correctly, but I get no activity on the screen
The default driver compile is for a COG 1 (Computer On Glass, version 1). Your RePaper screen may be a COG 2.
You can check this my carefully lifting the display and looking on the back of it. Look for a barcode starting with "TEM" or "VEM".
If the seventh character of the barcode is 'B', then you have a COG 2. Follow these instructions for building the driver:

make rpi-clean make COG_VERSION=V2 rpi sudo make COG_VERSION=V2 rpi-install sudo reboot
After reboot make sure it is showing a "COG 2"
% cat /dev/epd/panel EPD 2.7 264x176 COG 2 % echo C > /dev/epd/command
make bb-clean make COG_VERSION=V2 bb make COG_VERSION=V2 bb-install reboot
I can't get the eInk Display service to start on my Pi
