Hello!
I’ve been able to install CCS and the PRU compiler tools to my ubuntu desktop. I’ve been following this tutorial: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/PRU_Training:_Hands-on_Labs", However I am stuck on the “Linux Processor SDK” part. I’m assuming it’s supposed to be installed on the BeagleBone, but all the tutorials for it seem to act like it’s some kind of OS or it’s loading files from your computer when it boots or something. I thought there was some sort of cape-overlay that I am supposed to use.
Where to I go from here?
Thanks,
Alek

I do my PRU developement natively.

Everything seems to work up until:
debian@beaglebone:/var/lib/cloud9/2ecf864e1b3f250bad82c0eae12b7b64$ sudo config-pin p9.30 pruout

I am running bone-debian-9.2-iot-armhf-2017-11-02-4gb.img rather than https://rcn-ee.com/rootfs/bb.org/testing/2017-06-11/stretch-iot/bone-debian-stretch-iot-armhf-2017-06-11-4gb.img.xz because it appears that the download link is not there.
Other than that every other command worked.

I noticed that USR0 was blinking at a steady rate that was not 5 blinks per second it is supposed to. (After I ran sudo make run). There was no way to make it stop blinking with the /sys/class/leds/ commands. I restarted the beaglebone and was able to control whether it did a heartbeat/none with trigger, but after I ran “sudo make run” it did the blinking again.
I changed the hello-pru.c so that the INS_PER_US was 50 instead of 200 and recompiled and it appears to be blinking four times as fast, so the PRU is controlling the LED without having to run “sudo config-pin p9.30 pruout.”
P9_30 = hdmi audio
https://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian#U-Boot_Overlays
So you add:
disable_uboot_overlay_audio=1
to /boot/uEnv.txt

I hit this but for a different reason - I got a pocket beagle a few days
ago.
I had a look at /usr/bin/config-pin.
Would I be correct that to translate P9_30 to pocket beable,
on a BBB(assuming that's what the steps are targeted at) P9_30 is pru pin
144
so the equivalent on pocket beagle is P2_32 ?
eg.
$ sudo perl /opt/scripts/device/bone/show-pins.pl -v | grep P9.30
P9.30 102 D12 fast rx down 7 gpio 3.16
ocp/P2_32_pinmux (pinmux_P2_32_default_pin)
Either way, how would I map any of these IDs to the pinout/ expansion
headers diagram?
Looks like show-pins (https://github.com/mvduin/bbb-pin-utils) supports
BBB.
It confused me at first that P8 and P9 were being reported.
Is is something that could be enahnced to support the pocket beagle?
Thanks in advance,
Alex

Looks like I chose a bad pin for a good default demo. This is a different pin than used for the on-board LED. I tried to show both a PRU GPIO (via p9.30) and an OCP GPIO via the on-board LED.
So, the LED still blinks because it is a different line that is controlled via the OCP GPIO rather than the PRU GPIO.
I noticed that USR0 was blinking at a steady rate that was not 5 blinks per second it is supposed to.
Looks like I adjusted the rate without updating the README.md. I also tried to add a mode that allows for a “decay” where the cycles between toggles gets shorter and shorter. With that mode, you can see a bit more of the power of the PRU to toggle pins quickly, although you quickly get to a point where you’d need a scope to see how fast the PRU is toggling the GPIO.
(After I ran sudo make run). There was no way to make it stop blinking with the /sys/class/leds/ commands.
Right. Because the PRU is controlling the GPIO and not Linux, the /sys/class/leds interface wouldn’t stop it from toggling. However, you might note that Linux might still set or clear the LED at times, so both Linux and the PRU can collide with each other. That’s why my instructions say to set the trigger to “none”.
I restarted the beaglebone and was able to control whether it did a heartbeat/none with trigger, but after I ran “sudo make run” it did the blinking again.
I changed the hello-pru.c so that the INS_PER_US was 50 instead of 200 and recompiled and it appears to be blinking four times as fast, so the PRU is controlling the LED without having to run “sudo config-pin p9.30 pruout.”
As mentioned elsewhere on this thread, p9.30 is for the PRU GPIO and the USR0 LED is controlled via an OCP GPIO. PRU GPIOs can be controlled much faster, but the LEDs aren’t connected to pins that have pruout modes. My example illustrated toggling both an OCP GPIO and a PRU GPIO. PRU GPIOs can be set with registers directly in the PRU core rather than needing to write to an OCP (on-chip-peripheral) memory address.
Hello everyone, I’m trying to run an example of PRU to flash a led and I’m using P9_41 and P9_27, but to no working.
Can someone help me?
I created a dts and accredited that is correct, see the output of the show-pins.pl script:
