PyBBIO example program error about pybbio HOT 11 CLOSED

I've exactly the same problem...

from pybbio.

Uninstall PyBBIO, remove the installation files, and run
git clone -b 3.8-support git://github.com/alexanderhiam/PyBBIO.git

Then run the setup normally. The problem is PyBBIO was written for linux kernel 3.2

from pybbio.

Lisurgec, what would be the easiest way to uninstall PyBBIO and remove the installation files (rm and rmdir?) ?
Sry, I'm kinda new to Beaglebone and Angstrom.

Thanks a lot

from pybbio.

@Hlmes to uninstall:

# python
>>> import bbio
>>> bbio.__file__

then delete up to the .egg/ directory of what prints out, e.g. if it prints:

'/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PyBBIO-0.6-py2.7-linux-armv7l.egg/bbio/__init__.pyc'

then do:

# rm -r /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PyBBIO-0.6-py2.7-linux-armv7l.egg/

Then be sure to delete the current PyBBIO/ directory if it's still there, and then you can grab the 3.8-support branch as @Lisurgec described. Note that the 3.8-support branch is not complete, but I'll keep it up to date as I work on it.

@alexanderhiam,
thank you tons for the advice and everything you're doing here ;)

Here is the problem I'm getting even after CLONING THE FIXED FOR 3.8Kernel LIBRARY:

What could possibly be the matter? I just ran the example BLINKY

from pybbio.

There is no fixed for 3.8 version yet. The 3.8-support branch is where my working on support for the 3.8 kernel, which is still a work in progress.

from pybbio.

I;m mainly considerate about this error>> NameError: global name 'UART' is not defined I don't think this error is caused due to kernel I think something more in generally being related to defining UART

from pybbio.

You're right, the error is in PyBBIO, but it's there because the UART configuration dictionary doesn't exist in installs on the 3.8 kernel from the 3.8-support branch, because, well, I haven't created it yet. Because the 3.8-support branch is more of an experimental development branch, I can't offer any guarantee that it is in a working state.

If you're looking for something that is currently working on the 3.8 kernel, @jwcooper has done some great work on the Adafruit_BBIO library.

Serial is working on 3.8 now, so this shouldn't be an issue anymore... closing.

thanks @Lisurgec &@alexanderhiam working now…
