Hi Clayton, what you have written is correct and the Device Tree is a significant barrier to entry. The Universal IO is a good solution to this, and I've had good luck with it while keeping in mind my requirements to manipulate the Device Tree have been minimal.
The Beagleboard is driven by the community, and it is a wonder such a complex piece of technology is accessible at all! The Linux kernel has something like 8000 developers contributing, making it perhaps the largest engineering project in human history. The complexity of this technology is breathtaking! I very much appreciate what the community has done and I have learned a great deal and also had fun. In looking about, Github appears to be the de-facto standard for sharing information in electronic form, and the Beagleboard related stuff is there. But not all of it, especially documentation, is located in several wiki pages. These pages are not reliable. So what I am getting at, is that Github is an accepted means of publishing documentation, and you can get a public account for free. If you could tidy up your post, and put it in publishable form, I think it would be a good contribution to the community. As far as what "publishable form" means, that could be as simple as Markdown, or better yet a PDF file, which Github can display in the browser. Just a suggestion, good luck with your projects and please let us know how it is going.
