Re: Error when installing Adafruit BNO055
Hi, sorry to hear you encountered an error. I do not see the text of an error message in your post.
Please either paste the full text of the error or attach a screenshot of the error message.
In addition, I would like to know more about the software installed on your BeagleBone. Please paste the output of these commands:
sudo /opt/scripts/tools/version.sh
cat /boot/uEnv.txt
Finally, I would recommend trying the current official BeagleBoard.org Debian image for the BeagleBone:
Stretch IoT (without graphical desktop) for BeagleBone and PocketBeagle via microSD card

Re: Error when installing Adafruit BNO055
Hi all
Thanks for the quick answer. I thought, that I had attached a sceenshot, but it should be attached now :)
Maybe, I'll have to clean up with a new image!

Re: Error when installing Adafruit BNO055
Thanks for posting. It looks like the Debian installation is from 2014 which is quite old at this point and likely the issue.
Please try the current official BeagleBoard.org Debian image for the BeagleBone:

Re: Error when installing Adafruit BNO055
Hi drewfustini
Thank you for the reply - it was an old version! Finally, ive got a new version and everything installs correctly now (y). I've got a new problem now, and it is a IO error. Any suggestions?

Re: Error when installing Adafruit BNO055
Did you change the example to use the correct settings for your BeagleBone?
It would be helpful if you could run strace so that I can better understand what is happening.
Install strace (if it doesn't already exist):
sudo apt-get install strace
Then run strace, replace test.py with the name of your test program:
sudo strace -f -o strace.log python ./simpletest.py
Paste the contents of strace.log into a GitHub Gist or attach the file to your reply.
Code: Select all
debian@beaglebone:~/tmp/Adafruit_Python_BNO055/examples$ git diff
diff --git a/examples/simpletest.py b/examples/simpletest.py

Re: Error when installing Adafruit BNO055
Hi again
Finally weekend again!
1) I've changed simpletest.py so it look like, the attached screen dump:
2) I've executed the progrom with strace. See attached file.
Thanks in advance - it is appriciated! :)

Re: Error when installing Adafruit BNO055
I think that error may be caused by the pin mode not being set to i2c for those pins.
Please try running these commands to set i2c mode on all these pins:
Also, for the strace log, please attach the file to your reply.
Alternatively, this grep command should produce the output I'm interested:

Code: Select all
config-pin p9.17 i2c
config-pin p9.18 i2c
config-pin p9.19 i2c
config-pin p9.20 i2c
config-pin p9.21 i2c
config-pin p9.22 i2c
Alternatively, this grep command should produce the output I'm interested:
Code: Select all
sudo strace -o /tmp/strace.log python ./examples/simpletest.py
grep -A5 /dev/i2c /tmp/strace.log
