Rei Vilo 695 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 TI has launched a PRU cape for the BeagleBone dedicated to the PRUs. Has someone tried to adapt Energia to program those PRUs on the BeagleBone? Automate 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spirilis 1,265 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Someone was working on having Energia compile programs to the native Linux target, but I haven't heard anything about the PRUs being a target of such stuff. I'm not so sure it would even make sense to use Energia on the PRUs. From what I know of them, they shine primarily as optimized coprocessors to the master Linux instance.

abecedarian 330 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 PRU's sound somewhat like the N2HET peripherals on the RM4/4F: they can respond to events, internal or external, in a real-time / deterministic manner. Linux, much like Windows, is not well suited to being an RTOS though either can provide a robust front-end to the back-end. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rei Vilo 695 Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 @@abecedarian That's exactly the idea: combining main core for front-end and PRUs for real-time GPIOs and peripherals.
