Description
Still have the same issue as multiple users reported, though I'm running a quite recent BBB image U-boot. I also do not experience it every time, it seems to be some timing issue or something?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the intermittent failure at GPIO.setup(io, GPIO.IN) on the reported BeagleBone image and examine the missing-file or permission condition shown in the traceback. Compare successful and failing runs to identify the timing-related difference; done means the failure is explained and the GPIO mode setup no longer raises this error under the reported conditions.
