Hello,
My goal is to make an ultra-precise clock on the beaglebone black by using 
the 1 pps signal from my adafruit GPS.  I have been readying about the 
device overlays / capes but there seems to be a lot of outdated information 
out there that is very confusing.  

My 1 pps is connected to P9_12
GPS Rx: P9_24
GPS Tx: P9_26

I found the following DTS file:  
https://github.com/ddrown/pps-gmtimer/blob/master/DD-GPS-00A0.dts

I then edited this file, and replaced the pins with my pins as listed 
above.  After compiling the file, I get the following warning:

root@AD1:/lib/firmware# dtc -O dtb -o /lib/firmware/DD-GPS-00A0.dtbo -b 0-@ 
DD-GPS-00A0.dts 
/lib/firmware/DD-GPS-00A0.dtbo: Warning (unit_address_vs_reg): Node 
/fragment@0 has a unit name, but no reg property
/lib/firmware/DD-GPS-00A0.dtbo: Warning (unit_address_vs_reg): Node 
/fragment@1 has a unit name, but no reg property
/lib/firmware/DD-GPS-00A0.dtbo: Warning (unit_address_vs_reg): Node 
/fragment@2 has a unit name, but no reg property

Then, I edited my /boot/uEnv.txt and pointed:  
uboot_overlay_addr0=/lib/firmware/DD-GPS-00A0.dtbo

I next rebooted, and expected to see something in dmesg about the 1pps 
signal, but I didn't.  I do see the following:

root@AWD1:/lib/firmware# dmesg |grep pps
[    0.725865] pps_core: LinuxPPS API ver. 1 registered
[    0.725871] pps_core: Software ver. 5.3.6 - Copyright 2005-2007 Rodolfo

Any thoughts as to why I am not seeing a /dev/pps0 device?
