Are you working on a LPT breakout for the BeagleBone?!?

If so, that's great!  I just started looking into designing one of
these, along with an interface board for the RAMPS.

Pinout for step/dir/limit generally doesn't matter, but I am hoping to
also be able to support a MESA parallel port interface board and run the
hm2 driver on the 'Bone.  For that, the data lines all need to be in
banks where their GPIO direction bit can be set by the PRU safely
without using an atomic read-modify-write.  It looks like the block of
GPIO bank 1 pins, from bits 12-19 would work, and as a plus they are all
together so an 8-bit byte doesn't have to get splintered into a bunch of
groups spread across several GPIO banks.
