I’m trying to use the Nerves.UART module. I followed the installation instructions on github:

https://github.com/nerves-project/nerves_uart

When I issued mix compile it seemed to build successfully:

When I try to use it from iex, though, I get this:

iex(2)> alias Nerves.UART
Nerves.UART
iex(3)> UART.enumerate
** (UndefinedFunctionError) function Nerves.UART.enumerate/0 is undefined (module Nerves.UART is not available)
Nerves.UART.enumerate()

Is there a way to verify that the library is available?

Oops… Never mind… It all works if I start iex like this:

$ iex -S mix
