This doesn't answers my question. So to describe it more clear:

- board/CPU is powered and running
- SYS_RESETn is HIGH
- GPIO is configured as input
...so all preconditions mentioned in BBB manual are met.

Now when I want to set a HIGH signal to that GPI, can I connect it with 
BBBs 3.3V directly or is a resistor needed in order to keep this 8 mA sink 
limit?
