By the Mouser page at http://www.mouser.com/new/beagleboardorg/pocketbeagle/ it has a "SGX530 graphics accelerator" so it seems like it must have video. In my earlier looking around it seems like I ran across the fact that it has a micro (not mini) HDMI, so I wanted to double check that because I only have mini, but couldn't find it again. It does have several serial ports or at least uarts. Their graphics are so big they basically didn't work until I made them 1/4 size in Gimp. It has 2 SPI ports by the pinouts. Yes, I have 3 Raspberry Pi 3Bs and a couple Zeros, I wanted to diversify a little. Or I just wonder why nobody else bothers to include A/D ports.
Why is the only documentation on Github? Strange marketing ploy.
