Actually, in this _specific_ scenario I suspect that EPP emulation on
the BBB to talk to the FPGA is possibly a silly thing anyway, because
what is happening in the FPGA is GPIO emulating EPP. It is possibly
more sensible to just set up a fast serial link from BBB to 7i43, and
use a different firmware on the FPGA that doesn't waste effort trying
to be a parallel port.
