pwm fails with file not found error On BeagleBoneBlack

[rickblair]

I am trying to run the PWM example. I run as root. System is BeagleBoard.org Debian Image 2015-11-12 Bulldog version is latest.

Here is the error:

@rickblair I'm getting the same errors, did you ever solve this issue?

[rickblair]

Wow that was a while back. I believe I rolled back to an earlier version of Debian. The way the hardware mapping for GPIO changed between kernel versions.

Sorry I don't have the version info anymore.
