Hi All, *Thanks for all the previous help*, I am happy to report that I have a script that will download, install , configure a beaglebone for working pru support. It does this at the most basic level. One blinking LED.
Here is how to get a surefire setup if you are just learning about the PRU and want to know you have a working base system. Once you have a working base you can build your knowledge from there and understand which pieces do what. 1) Get this image : * https://debian.beagleboard.org/images/bone-debian-8.4-lxqt-4gb-armhf-2016-05-13-4gb.img.xz* install it on SD card / flash it to emmc. It is the release I used. 2) Login into your beaglebone black and run: *git clone **https://github.com/Neil-Jubinville/pru * 3) Then cd pru followed by ./prep_pru.sh and that will kickoff the automatic setup. You can view the script details here: https://github.com/Neil-Jubinville/pru/blob/master/prep_pru.sh In a nutshell - it upgrades the kernel to a know working version, rebuilds device tree overlays, disables cape universal, enables PRU support, loads the uio_pruss module, downloads examples and sets one of them to run at start up. It will reboot your beaglebone so make your you are watching it start so you can see it blink. To see it work, ultimately you will need an LED hooked up to P9.27 to ground (and an inline resister likely).
