So, a couple of years ago I bought a BBB. Had a play for a while, then it ended up in a drawer as newer boards with more features blew past it. I've now found that drawer! This BBB has Debian 7 installed. I've done an apt-get upgrade and update and it all seems to work. I've been looking at *bonescript* as being a quick and easy way to get it to do something useful with peripherals. However all the documentation seems to be for bonescript on Angstrom - and even then, most of it is a year or two old. I've run the stuff at https://github.com/jadonk/bonescript that is pertinent to Debian which amounts to just a few lines:
Debian and Ubuntu prerequisites: - Credit to http://learn.adafruit.com/introduction-to-the-beaglebone-black-device-tree/compiling-an-overlay sudo apt-get install -y build-essential g++ python-setuptools python2.7-dev wget -c https://raw.github.com/RobertCNelson/tools/master/pkgs/dtc.sh chmod +x dtc.sh ./dtc.sh but which does NOT end up with anything that seems to produce any results. Specifically, the one-liner: node -pe "require('bonescript').getPlatform().bonescript" produces no output. Nothing. No error messages, no status, nothing. My simple question is: is bonescript on Debian dead? Am I wasting my time trying to use it and should I be looking at some other way to interact with GPIOs and all the other peripherals?
