Just found this in the new Ti 10.x sdk. They have instructions on how to work with the pru without the need for ccs.
The PRU Cookbook (BeagleBone Cookbook — BeagleBoard Documentation ) also shows how to compile PRU code on the Beagle.

Is that still current since they are on V10 ?
Not sure if I have ever looked at that. Just glanced over it and that looks like an extremely valuable resource. Thank you for sharing that.
The only this you need to be aware of is that TI has already deprecated the AM335x
in some of the later SDKs, so the “latest-and-greatest” might not be what you want anymore…
The current landscape presents exciting opportunities for innovation beyond the traditional offerings. Advanced image capture, particularly through HDMI input, remains a challenge for most single-board computers (SBCs), regardless of the manufacturer. However, this creates room for breakthrough solutions that address more sophisticated needs. The market today largely serves established sectors, where cost-efficiency and stability are critical drivers of success. In this space, well-documented systems-on-chip (SoC) are essential for creating commercially viable products. The BeagleBone Black (BBB) stands out as a prime example—it’s stable, well-documented, and ready for commercial deployment.
Right, nice cut-n-paste, but I completely fail to see the relevancy…
From where?
Today, there are a lot of exciting chances to come up with new ideas beyond what we usually see. Capturing images using HDMI input is still a hard problem for most small computers, no matter who makes them. But this opens the door for new solutions to meet tougher needs. Right now, the market focuses on well-known areas, where saving money and being reliable are very important. In these areas, well-documented chips are key to making products that can be sold. The BeagleBone Black (BBB) is a great example—it’s reliable, well-documented, and ready to be used for business.
Or this version:
The current technological landscape offers significant opportunities for innovation, particularly beyond conventional solutions. One persistent challenge is the capture of high-quality images through HDMI input, which remains a technical hurdle for most single-board computers (SBCs), irrespective of the manufacturer. This limitation, however, highlights the potential for disruptive technologies aimed at more complex and high-performance applications. The market is currently dominated by sectors where cost-effectiveness and system reliability are paramount. In such environments, the availability of robust, well-documented systems-on-chip (SoCs) is critical for developing commercially viable products. The BeagleBone Black (BBB) exemplifies this, offering a stable, well-documented platform that is primed for deployment in commercial applications.
