Work to feature this functionality in `BeagleBone.jl` is currently ongoing. More

# OBS! SPI development
The SPI development is done in C and in a forked repository, currently
separated from the julia project. If you wish to work on the SPI implementation,
simply clone the repository "serbus", a small C stack available at
`github.com/mgreiff/serbus` into your julia package directory (for example
`~/.julia/v0.6`). Then, in the LabConnections package on the host computer, run
`flash_BB.sh` in the `/utils` directory transferring both LabConnections and
serbus to the BB.
On the BB, run
cp /home/debian/juliapackages/serbus/bb_spi.sh /home/debian
and then execute
./bb_spi.sh
in the `/home/debian` directory to run the SPI example with the ADC from SPI0.
