        Per the BBB TRM (TI SPRUH73P)

21.1.1 I2C Features
The general features of the I2C controller are:
• Compliant with Philips I2C specification version 2.1
• Supports standard mode (up to 100K bits/s) and fast mode (up to 400K
bits/s).
• Multimaster transmitter/slave receiver mode
• Multimaster receiver/slave transmitter mode
• Combined master transmit/receive and receive/transmit modes
• 7-bit and 10-bit device addressing modes
• Built-in 32-byte FIFO for buffered read or writes in each module
• Programmable clock generation
• Two DMA channels, one interrupt line

The multimaster HS I2C controllers have the following features:
• Compliant with Philips I2C specification version 2.1
• Supports a standard mode (up to 100 kbps) and fast mode (up to 400 kbps)
• Supports HS mode for transfer up to 3.4 Mbps (only for I2C3, I2C4 and
I2C5)
• 7-bit and 10-bit device addressing modes
• General call
• Start/Restart/Stop
• Multimaster transmitter/slave receiver mode
• Multimaster receiver/slave transmitter mode
• Combined master transmit/receive and receive/transmit mode
• Built-in FIFOs (16 bytes) for buffered read or write
• Module enable/disable capability
• Programmable multislave channel (responds to four separate addresses)

        Per
https://www.totalphase.com/support/articles/200349176-7-bit-8-bit-and-10-bit-I2C-Slave-Addressing#8bit
8-bit addressing is not a proper I2C addressing mode.

        Your xAA is probably address x55 with read/write bit 0 (write)
