Error reading directory /sys/devices/platform/ocp #52

I just installed octalbonescript and can't get it to work.

Even the following barebone program:

 var obs = require('octalbonescript');

throws

Error reading directory /sys/devices/platform/ocp

Shouldn't we be looking at bone_capemgr.9, not bone_capemgr? ocp is also nonexistent on my operating system, as mentioned above. Do I need to run some setup command prior to using OBS?

I'm using a fresh install of the most recent BBB OS.

Hi, it's likely that you are running kernel 3.8. New OBS v1.1.1 was released yesterday to be compatible with kernel 4.1. If you have to use 3.8 kernel, you should use v1.0.x of OBS. You can also upgrade to latest 4.1 kernel by installing debian 8.2 as described in readme.
