I'd advise you to grab Sunday's snapshot:

Last Thursday/Friday, i finished up enabling all the pinmux options in
the "config-pin" utility.. This allows you to individually control
every i/o on both 36 headers. "config-pin" also allows you to switch
the pin/peripheral connections, so you can take a pin that defaults as
usart, and change it to gpio/i2c/pru/etc.. (config-pin -q
PX_YZ/config-pin -l PX_YZ will give you all the actuall possiblitys on
a pin by pin basis)..
yesterday i enabled the pwm, can1, usart2, and usart4 interfaces, so
the next snapshot will have those options available to users too..
