you cannot drive a mosfet with a BBB IO pin
they make Fet drivers to do the heavy lifting
a gate on a mosfet can take a lot of current to make it work
just an example driver there are a lot more of them Microchip TC1410

You are most likely correct. I would a schematic to be sure, but you most
likely fried it with the word 12V on that page.

I did this setup with an LED strip, MOSFETs, and a separate 12V power

See 5 posts down of a picture.
This setup has apparently fried 2 of my Beaglebones.
I tested the gate pins on the MOSFETs (which were the only thing connecte
