Hello,

I've been playing with this Beaglebone Black Wireless for several months 
now, and I feel like I've come pretty far from out-right newbie status, but 
after struggling for so long to program one of the BBBW's PRUs I'm starting 
to feel like a newbie again. Please help!

I've been following this tutorial 
- http://credentiality2.blogspot.com/2015/09/beaglebone-pru-gpio-example.html  
    - mostly because it makes intuitive sense to me.

It says that to program the PRU, you have to use a device tree overlay to 
set up the gpios pins and their configuration for the PRU to be able to use 
them, then you have to write a .c program to load assembly code into the 
PRU after you compile it into .bin with ./pasm. This all seems relatively 
simple, and I've been able to get everything to compile and I can load my 
overlay into /sys/devices/platform/bone_capemgr/slots with no issues. But 
as soon as I try to load my compiled assembly code into the PRU with:

"./pru_loader pru_gpio_test.bin"     - as instructed by the tutorial

I get the error "prussdrv_open() failed"

Can anyone help me please?? I'm so stuck and I'm not finding information on 
existing threads that works for me.

my uname -a read out is:
Linux beaglebone 4.9.45-ti-r57 #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Aug 25 22:58:38 UTC 2017 
armv7l GNU/Linux

when I run lsmod |grep pru :
pruss_soc_bus           4788  0
pru_rproc              14966  0
pruss_intc              9092  1 pru_rproc
pruss                  10889  1 pru_rproc

I haven't altered the pru_loader.c code at all from what is shown on the 
tutorial page, and I only made minor adjustments to the .dts file and 
assembly code. I will provide those if it helps.

Thank you for reading! Please get back to me soon!
