What's the compatibility like for existing BBB capes? Assuming one does a quick pin-conversion daughterboard to convert the PB pinout to the same dimensions as the BBB.

Also is the U-Boot/Linux source between the PB and BBB the same? Namely due to the Octavo being more of a complete solution than the AM3358/PMIC/EEPROM setup the BBB has

I made priority of choosing pins not used by LCD or eMMC on BeagleBone Black so that many capes not reassigning those pins could be adapted. The pinout was also done to work with a large number of existing breakout boards.

The EEPROM identifier requires a small update to the bootloader and device tree.
