I'm hardly a bonescript expert, only using it to help a friend get started with a Beaglebone, but I don't seem to see any bonescript functions that use a UART. Is there support for UARTs in the node-js that bonescript is built on? (won't bet the farm that I've got the software layering correct).
I've pretty much confined myself to what is documented about bonescript at: http://beagleboard.org/support/bonescript After a bit of Googling, the bonescript GitHub: https://github.com/jadonk/bonescript suggests that bonescript inherits the serial port stuff from: https://github.com/voodootikigod/node-serialport which I think means a lot of pieces are in play that need to all be the "right versions". Precisely the type of thing I'm trying to shield my newbie friend from. He hasn't alluded to any need of a UART interface yet, but I'm curious about how all this stuff works together. I've just started playing with 2016-03-27 and find its bonescript is much improved over what has come before. So far I've tested analogRead/Write and digitalWrite/Read and attachInterrupt without spurious error messages, the only minor issue so far is the default pin used for analogRead() in one of the examples seems not to be available on my BBG, but changing it to P9_39 solved it. node -pe "require('bonescript').getPlatform().bonescript" returns: 0.5.0-beta-3 on my 2016-03-27 system. I get the same error on my 2016-03-27 system as you did when I run your serial port script, so the newest testing image doesn't seem to be a solution. It is kernel 4.1.18-ti-r55 On Thursday, March 31, 2016 at 6:18:00 AM UTC-5, dorica wrote: > Actually, the "config-pin P9.24 uart" doesn't work for me. It needs sudo > to do the work.

The big question is why can't I use UART1 in bonescript. > Thank you > -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
