Interesting project on Indiegogo that was submitted via our Submit news channel.
Here is Shield I/O, the first BeagleBone Black cape which adapts Arduino Shields to your BeagleBone Black.
With Shield I/O it doesn’t matter if you’re using 3.3V or 5V logic or up to 5V analog inputs.
It comes with dedicated level shifters for all 14 digital GPIO pins, PWM, I²C and SPI. There is also a connector to support shields which use the Arduino ICSP header.

NOT the first! The ValentFX Logi-bone, which has an FPGA on board, also has Arduino shield connections.
