Machinekit is available for the Beaglebone. So far I've had it running Z and Y axis on my mill. X axis conversion isn't far enough along yet to try. The PC I set up to use LinuxCNC died this weekend so until I get a replacement MB it's back to MachineKit and the BBB for playing with the mill.
I use a Xylotex DB-25/26 Cape to simulate a PC parallel port which then goes to a screw terminal Break Out Board.
