I just tested your update script on the BeagleBone with a freshly
compiled UB3+JA4 branch.  It seems to have worked pretty well, but after
the initial conversion, LinuxCNC refused to start.  Both the AXIS_X and
AXIS_Y had the value "None" for both the MIN_LIMIT and the MAX_LIMIT.

These values are in the original ini file, but commented out.  I'm not
sure if it's OK to launch w/o limits in place, but it seemed to work
previously...and by "work" I mean I was able to launch LinuxCNC and jog
the three axis motors manually which is all I've ever done to date with
the K9 board.  I manually put in some reasonable limits, and all is well
(LinuxCNC launches again, and I can move motors).

It seems to me that either the "limit doesn't exist" condition needs to
be handled properly (if it's really legal), or it might be good to do a
sanity check and make sure all required data (limits and anything else
needed) is actually present prior to conversion.

The configuration I am starting with is the GPIO-Driven.ini file, which
can be found (along with it's corresponding HAL files and other setup
requirements) here:

...and thanks for the update script, btw!  :)
