Then, you must be using a 3.8.x kernel. Right ? But here are the modules
needed at least on a 4.x kernel:

william@beaglebone:~/dev/bb.org-overlays$ lsmod |grep w1
w1_therm                4886  0
w1_gpio                 3764  0
wire                   35398  2 w1_gpio,w1_therm

All three of those need to be loaded in order for the DS18B20 to work. So,
try manually loading those via modprobe. SO let's take a look at a rPI
blogpost:
https://www.modmypi.com/blog/ds18b20-one-wire-digital-temperature-sensor-and-the-raspberry-pi

Much of this blog post is going to be RaspberryPI centric. *dtoverlay=w1-gpio,
*/boot/config.txt, etc. However if you scroll down to the *"Programming" *part
of the blog post. This person talks about loading the required kernel
modules( also note that kernel version is 3.6.11 ) Using modprobe. So if
you run those two modprobe commands, and then list the contents of
/sys/bus/w1/devices:

*william@beaglebone:~$* ls /sys/bus/w1/devices/
28-00000647ddf6  w1_bus_master1

And you get output like the above. 1-wire *is* working, and the 1-wire
master ( beaglebone ) has detected a 1-wire slave device. It's working.
However, if you load both the above 1-wire kernel modules, and there is
nothing in /sys/bus/w1/devices, then something is wrong. I'd have to say at
this point, if you do not get an error about a missing module, that you
have your pin muxed incorrectly, or not properly connected to the pin.

Now if you get an error on the command line from trying to load either of
those two 1-wire modules. Chances are pretty good you haven't compiled in
the given proper 1-wire support. In fact, I do believe there is a whole
section in menu-config for 1-wire devices. You may actually have to
recompile your kernel with support for the DS18B20 1-wire device . . .

Another issues between 4.x, and 3.8.x kernels is that device enumeration
was different for some devices. So . . . It is entirely possible, in your
overlay, that the GPIO bank you're passing in as parameters is off by one.
How can be test for this ? On 4.x kernels . . .

*william@beaglebone:~$* ls /sys/devices/platform/ocp
40300000.ocmcram          48042000.timer    480ca000.spinlock
49800000.tptc      driver_override
40302000.ocmcram_nocache  48044000.timer    4819c000.i2c
49900000.tptc      modalias
44e07000.gpio             48046000.timer    481ac000.gpio
49a00000.tptc      ocp:l4_wkup@44c00000
44e09000.serial           48048000.timer    481ae000.gpio
4a100000.ethernet  of_node
44e0b000.i2c              4804a000.timer    481d8000.mmc
4c000000.emif      power
44e35000.wdt              4804c000.gpio     48200000.interrupt-controller
53100000.sham      subsystem
44e3e000.rtc              48060000.mmc      48310000.rng
53500000.aes       uevent
47400000.usb              480c8000.mailbox  49000000.edma
56000000.sgx

*william@beaglebone:~$* ls /sys/devices/platform/ocp/44e07000.gpio/gpio/
gpiochip0

And the very first gpio address entry in this case was the lowest gpio
bank. So, if you investigate the equivalent directory in 3.8.x, you should
be able to check all gpio banks, to see what the actual lowest gpio bank
is. Do also keep in mind that /sys/devices/platform/ocp/ will be different
in 3.8.x. So you'll have to poke around a bit. Unless someone else posts
here and gives you the proper path. I don't remember what it is.

Anyway, there is another option. You can upgrade your kernel to a newer
version. Which, yes, will probably mean you'll also have to either flash a
newer image, or run a newer image from sdcard.
