According to the system manual for the AI (https://github.com/beagleboard/beaglebone-ai/wiki/System-Reference-Manual), P8.17 is GPIO 242. It also doesn’t list GPIOs for the B mapping of the other pins (so I don’t know if it’s doable or not), but you have access to other GPIO that are connected to the same cape pin using sysfs. So P8.45 is GPIO 224 (different gpio pin, though gpio8.0) and P8.30 is GPIO 116 (again, different port/pin, gpio4.20). I’m not sure if you can access the b version of those pins using sysfs or not, but you should be able to with libgpiod, using gpioget and gpioset.
