The answer is probably "both". You can use Stepconf to create a setup
that matches your hardware, except you will have to pretend to have a
parallel port. You will then need to go through the HAL file by hand
modifying all parallel port lines to point to the correct BBB pins.

You also probably want to swap the software stepgens for PRU stepgens.
