No experience. But it's not radically different from the "normal" BBB which is a rather slow device. The RTL8723BU chip is a USB device which is probably easier to support than SDIO.

No. The USB controllers on the SoC are currently unsupported. ians@ was trying to make them work. Not sure how much progress he made. > 3.

You should be able to look at various registers while the thing is running.
