The list of supported EVMs can be seen on top of the SDK download page: software-dl.ti.com/.../index_FDS.html BBBWL is not directly supported.

Are there plans to eventually support the bbb-w in future SDK versions?

We do not have plans to support the BeagleBone Wireless. BeagleBone is an open hardware platform and we simply can't support all the iterations that are created or may be created in the future.

Since support for these things in Linux is now primarily done via DeviceTree files, and these files are usually provided by the board vendors and the Processor SDKs (for supported platforms), it is usually a relatively simple process to get a new board or interface working on either (of course, your mileage may vary and this varies with experience).
