   the IMREAD_COLOR is part of the cv2 module which are your OpenCV bindings. Which OpenCV version are you using? I've seen errors like this happen when you install OpenCV via apt-get instead of compiling via source.

   Run:

   $ python
   >>> import cv2
   >>> cv2.__version___

   And then report back your version.

   It sounds like you installed OpenCV via apt-get, which normally installs an out-dated version with functionality missing. I would suggest installing OpenCV from source to avoid this issue. The instructions listed below can be used to install OpenCV from source for Debian:

   http://www.pyimagesearch.com/2015/06/22/install-opencv-3-0-and-python-2-7-on-ubuntu/

   I'm going to go ahead and close this issue now. Re-flash Debian onto your BeagleBone Black and then compile OpenCV from source and it should take care of the issue. Otherwise, it might be a BBB issue, and since I do not have one, I cannot further diagnose the problem.
