Robert Turns out what was in flash was dead, would not even boot. I may have booted from flash on this board once when I first purchased the board last fall. So I have no idea what happened to flash or when. So I downloaded the latest 08/31/2017 IOT image and converted it to a flasher image and flashed the eMMC with it. It flashed fine and booted, which said at least the eMMC was not defective
I took a look at what was there using a cloud9 terminal as I have not run connman yet and tried python Adafruit_BBIO ADC and it worked. I did not execute any of the commands to create a new group and change file permissions. It just worked out of the box. Did you make any changes to the 08/31 image from this discussion that would have fixed the issue? Tomorrow I can try an sd card with a fresh image without the fixed discussed earlier today and see what happens with flash having a good image.
