This is similar to closed issue #255 , I'm experiencing the same error when running a basic example. The panel lights up then immediately goes dark returning the "Segmentation Fault" error in the terminal when running
sudo python3 filename.py

I've formatted the SD Card and used a fresh install of Raspian 32 bit full OS and experienced the same behavior.

I've attempted to update the WS2812 package and am receiving errors when doing so.

Expected behaviour

LED Matrix Lights as coded

Actual behaviour

LED Matrix lights up and immediately goes dark, terminal returns "Segmentation fault" when the code stops executing. I experience the same behavior whether I define a matrix or LED strip. Worth noting I have no issues when leveraging the adafruit neopixel libraries, the panel behaves as expected.

Here is the basic example I am using.
from luma.core.render import canvas
from luma.led_matrix.device import neopixel
device = neopixel(cascaded=512)
with canvas(device) as draw:
draw.point((0,0), fill="white")

Thanks in advance
