You can also look at the ARM ports for the nRF8001 libary for the STM32 (libmaple) https://github.com/leaflabs/libmaple/pull/93 or the port of the nRF8001 library to the EFM32 ( https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/ble-sdk-efm32 ).

We do not have a port for the Beagleboard/Linux but multiple customers have already done ports to that platform, so this should be easily possible.

Follow the porting guide for more details.

The nRF8001 has a ACI/SPI interface to be controlled from. If I understand you correctly you have made the connections needed to be able to control the nRF8001 from the beagle board. The nRF8001 has a set of commands and events it uses to set it up and run it. I'm not familiar with a specific library for the BeagleBoard you have towards the nRF8001, but as long as you have a SPI available and the additional handshaking signal on the beagle board you could re-use the command set shown in for example the Arduino SDK for the nRF8001.
