My guess is it doesn't. At least not directly but likely could have a cape built for it that does. But unless it has the co-processors, like the original BBB, to handle say a 5 axis mill and VFD for the spindle I don't see a future in it for LCNC. If the FPGA programming is required for the trajectory side of things it falls outside the experience of most people anyway. The Pi4 with MESA 7i92H is cheaper than the BBB. Aren't there also full blown PC boards now available for under $150?
I have 3 BBBs. One is the 2GB one. The other two are the 4GB. One is used to emulate with a special cape, the ST-506 drive on an OS9-68K S100 system. Another was slated for use with a Delta 3D printer but the cape died and support was zero and now the 3D printer is sitting in a corner getting dusty. It was a POS anyway. The third with machinekit which was also essentially discontinued not to mention that the cape liked NO limit switches so a broken wire would not stop a motor. Like all BBB stuff it was pushed on the idea of long term life but in reality I have two BBB books from the same author (different editions) and the way to deal with the I/O is dramatically different. And when you use one of the older OS versions for say the first book it demonstrates the danger of the internet as it currently exists. The web sites to bring an older version of the OS, update and upgrade, no longer exist. The moment a sudo apt-get update or upgrade fails because of path not found or something like that we know we are in trouble. So IMHO, the BBB is not a direction to go.
