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 :( On Friday, January 29, 2016 at 6:32:02 PM UTC-6, RobertCNelson wrote: > > > On Jan 29, 2016 5:28 PM, "Wally Bkg" <[email protected] <javascript:>> > wrote: > > > > I've been using the Jessie testing images, but they've all been broken > for BoneScript. > > > > I'm helping a non-programmer friend get started with a project idea and > I'm 99.9% sure that BoneScript and Node-Red is about the best starting > point for what he wants to > > Add of this Sunday, node red will be installed by default.. > > Till then, as root.. > > https://gist.github.com/RobertCNelson/74ca34c860e522071317 > > accomplish.
