Great!  I'll be among the first to download Sunday's new Jessie image!  Do 
you know if the BoneScript PWM is now working?  


Most of my hours wasted is re-installing and re-configuring the 
non-standard stuff I use, so I'm not sure how bmaptool (which I assume is a 
"better" SD card burner) would buy me much.  I start dd and do something 
else -- the dd is always done by the time I get back to it :)


I know apt-get upgrade shouldn't break anything, but I'd been using a 
Jessie testing image (I think 8.1 from about April or May 2015) on both my 
BBW and BBB I upgraded them both (after skipping several other image 
releases) before rebooting either, and neither would allow a login 
afterwards -- no X on the BBB and no ssh on both.  I could recover my files 
from the SD cards so it wasn't a total loss.  I posted a message about it 
shortly after it happened, but I think my Google Groups filters (which I 
find less than helpful) put it where nobody seemed to notice it.

I've come to the conclusion I've a hardware USB issue with my A5A BBB, it 
sometimes works, more often not :(
