Hello there, I am attempting to activate UART pins on the BeagleBone Black 
with Ubuntu 16.04 kernel 4.4.68

ubuntu@arm:~$ uname -a
Linux arm 4.4.68-ti-r111 #1 SMP Wed Jun 28 13:40:31 UTC 2017 armv7l armv7l 
armv7l GNU/Linux

I have tried editing the /boot/uEnv.txt file.

cape_enable=bone_capemgr.enable_partno=BB-UART1


I have tried 
echo BB-UART1 > /sys/devices/platform/bone_capemgr/slots

Which causes the BBB to stall, I even let it sit for almost 2 hours once to 
no results.

ubuntu@arm:~$ ls -l /dev/ttyO*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Jul 14 14:48 /dev/ttyO0 -> ttyS0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Jul 14 14:48 /dev/ttyO1 -> ttyS1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Jul 14 14:48 /dev/ttyO2 -> ttyS2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Jul 14 14:48 /dev/ttyO4 -> ttyS4
ubuntu@arm:~$ ls -l /dev/ttyS*
crw--w---- 1 root tty     4, 64 Jul 14 14:48 /dev/ttyS0
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 65 Jul 14 14:48 /dev/ttyS1
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 66 Jul 14 14:48 /dev/ttyS2
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 67 Jul 14 14:48 /dev/ttyS3
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 68 Jul 14 14:48 /dev/ttyS4
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 69 Jul 14 14:48 /dev/ttyS5



I have tried 
config-pin 911 uart
config pin 913 uart
ubuntu@arm:~$ config-pin -q 911
P9_11 Mode: uart
ubuntu@arm:~$ config-pin -q 913
P9_13 Mode: uart

But still no data being transferred.  My end goal is to use ROS with a 
PixHawk for drone flights.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
