Need Ubuntu version that supports capemgr

[Tim M]

I want to install a version of Ubuntu on a Beaglebone Black rev C that supports the capemgr. I will be using an XBee cape and want to enable UART2 by adding "cape_enable=capemgr.enable_partno=BB-UART2" to /boot/uEnv.txt.

I will also need to enable an i2c port to interface to a real time clock chip, also by using capemgr.

I prefer to use an Ubuntu image that I can simply write to a microSD card. I was thinking of using Robert Nelson's image

https://rcn-ee.com/rootfs/2017-01-23/microsd/bone-ubuntu-16.04.1-console-armhf-2017-01-23-2gb.img.xz

Does anyone know if this image supports the capemgr?

I'm not opposed to a Debian image, if I can write it to a microSD card and it supports capemgr.

Thanks
