Yes, the code is still compatible. And yes, the companion chip 
changed. And yes, this is quite confusing  ;)  Do you still remember 
what I wrote in one of the other mails "only TI marketing department 
might understand their chip naming"?

What I understood is that revision A & B BeagleBoards used "OEM" 
companion chip you will only get in large quantities and manual is 
NDA. Revision C now uses the "catalogue" device, you will e.g. able to 
get from DigiKey and manual is publically available. So different chip 
names, but compatible.

Recent U-Boot mainline is used on rev B and C boards without any 
difference :)

Best regards

Dirk
