Beaglebone does overlays too. It is not Pi specific, it is a useful kernel feature. Devicetree overlays (and devicetree in general) of course started on powerpc, so no it is not a Pi thing, the Pi just happens to be the most common platform that is actually making people realize the feature exists. It's only been around for 8 or so years after all. -- Len Sorensen
