I have an Element 14 BB Black.

I have the sensor connected up for i2c (as opposed to spi). 
It works OK when I flash the eMMC 
with bone-debian-8.3-lxqt-4gb-armhf-2016-01-24-4gb.img. Meaning that I can 
find the temperature and pressure files provided in the driver.
The problem there is with that particular image... SSH over USB does not 
work. As a workaround I have to use serial which isn't as nice as a SSH 
shell.

So I flash the eMMC with bone-debian-8.2-osd3358-2015-12-07-2gb.img. SSH 
over USB works great, but I can't seem to load any drivers for the bmp280. 
 in fact, when I CD to /sys/bus/i2c/drivers I do not see the bmp280 listed 
there. And the cat command as listed below fails with "file not found". 

For reference the commands I'm using are: 
#add the driver

echo bmp280 0x77 > /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-2/new_device


#Verify that the driver loaded.

dmesg | grep bmp

[  552.045158] i2c i2c-2: new_device: Instantiated device bmp280 at 0x77


Get the pressure reading:

cat /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/bmp280/2-0077/iio\:device0/in_pressure_input

on the debian 8.2 flashed image as referenced above.

root@beaglebone:/sys/bus/i2c# i2cdetect -r 2

Can someone please help me to understand what it is I'm doing wrong? I just 
want to be able to SSH into the board over USB as well as load up the 
driver and get readings from the sensor. 


Thanks in advance,

Mike
