The BeagleBone Green Wireless uses some gpio pins for it wireless connection. These pins can't be used for other things.

Here is the list gather from https://github.com/RobertCNelson/bb.org-overlays/blob/master/src/arm/univ-bbgw-EW-00A0.dts#L1168

Header
P8_11 - P8_12
P8_14 - P8_18
P8_26
P9_12
P9_28 - P9_31

Recovering Pins

Many of these pins can be recovered, but you may loose some functionality.

P8_11, P8_16, and P8_15

Pins P8_11, P8_16, and P8_15 can be recovered, by sticking the wl1835 wifi module in 1-bit mode vs 4-bit mode.

sudo rm /lib/firmware/BB-BBGW-WL1835-00A0.dtbo 
sudo cp /lib/firmware/BB-BBGW-WL1835-1BIT-00A0.dtbo /lib/firmware/BB-BBGW-WL1835-00A0.dtbo 

P8_12, P8_18, P8_14, P8_17 and P9_12

These pins can be recovered if you don't need the thing to which they are attached.

P8_12 = WL1835: mmc2_dat0 
P8_18 = WL1835: mmc2_clk 

P8_14 = WL1835: Wireless enabled 
P8_17 = WL1835: Wireless IRQ 

P9_12 = WL1835: Bluetooth enabled

P8_26 and P9_30

Pins P8_26, P9_30 are "gpio hogged" at startup, not user changeable.

P9_28, P9_29, and P9_31

Pins P9_28, P9_29, and P9_31 are used by audio, which isn't actually used, but tied up.
