I haven't decided yet whether to have a pass-though to other capes. Most if
not all of the communication ports will be used by the HackRF BBB plate. Some
of the ports had to be configured for GPIO which led me to add a comm chip to
the design to extend SPI and I2c lines. We need to get to the prototype stage
before we can decide that.

That would be very cool but would probably be tricky to integrate
effectively. (You'd want the HackRF cape to be usable with or without
the FPGA cape.)
We haven't started working on it, but we're thinking about making a new
HackRF that runs ARM Linux and has the same radio section as HackRF One
(all on one board). Our leading candidate CPU at this point is AM4376,
which is basically the next generation of the CPU on the BeagleBone
Black. This board would not replace HackRF One but would be a higher
cost option for people who want an embedded Linux SDR platform instead
of a USB peripheral.
I think a BBB cape would be great too, especially if it can be made to
take advantage of other capes that already exist. This gives it a
versatility for niche applications that our Linux HackRF board wouldn't
have (without having to make your own add-ons).
