For what it's worth. I just reflashed my BBB with the production image<http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:Updating_The_Software>09/04/13 Angstrom. When trying to install pyserial I tried *opkg install python-pyserial * and it did not work, i also tried the pip and easy_install from the pyserial instructions page and i had already installed python-setuptools.
What ended up working was: *opkg install python-modules* *opkg install python-pyserial* On Monday, November 25, 2013 7:52:15 PM UTC-5, [email protected] wrote: > > The magic for me was to run 'opkg update' first.
