The capemgr bits are a custom kernel from BBone that never made it upstream. The ability to do DeviceTree overlays only landed mainline in 3.19 so you would need at 3.19rc5 [1] or later Fedora kernel. I've got as far as testing that the kernel boots on the BBB with the kernel with overlays enabled but not had enough time to test them. > Can anyone here confirm the status of GPIO (and other cape features) ? does > it require a custom kernel ? Am I missing someting ? GPIO works, it doesn't need capes to do that. Basically overlays are just a means of automating the configuration of all features on a particular addon card whether you call it a cape, a hat or an expansion board. Depending on what device you're trying to configure you might just be able to do it with a basic script.
