Elaborating on Peter's answer (which is completely correct), it seems that you are hoping for a yes/no answer. If so, the situation is not (and will never be) that simple. Most devices do not provide all the capability included in the HPI specification. Therefore, there will probably always be some HPI calls that will return SA_ERR_HPI_CAPABILITY. On top of this, different OpenHPI plugins may be in different stages of development and/or support. There may be capabilities that are possible with a particular device, but nobody has made the effort to implement them. Of course, patches and other contributions are always welcome, so if something is missing that you need, please implement it. My point is that there will probably never be a simple "yes" answer to that question, at least across all the plug-ins and all the hardware that OpenHPI supports. On the other hand, strictly speaking, OpenHPI already supports B.02.01 today. As allowed by the HPI specification, some of the HPI calls return SA_ERR_HPI_CAPABILITY, and this will always be the case. Hopefully this helps...
