Hello 
I know the code. It's all explained in the SDK documention. I also like these 
examples.Your asking questions about an SDK that's supported by Texas 
Instruments. You do understand this .org group you posted in may contain TI 
employees but is NOT TI support it's Beagle board Debian.
 I think if you read the documents you will understand the answers
 I'm sure you could compile this with some work the sdk instructions talk about 
This. 
Hypothetical question ❓If the instructions told you a virtual box build was not 
supported and not recommended would you use one anyway and then ask the person 
who told you not too do this why it doesn't work.
I'm struggling to be nice in this reply.
 I remember asking questions as a young engineer that clearly showed I made 
zero effort to research anything.
Then one day I got some really critical replies about my skills.
Do some reading then if stuck ask questions
Or better yet follow what the sdk instructions suggest.
If you found this code  on internet and don't have a TI account or are not 
eligible for ITAR restrictions to download the sdk  you have a big problem.
I see you have a Gmail account

all, 
I am practicing PRU skills through some TI examples. I am playing with 
PRU_ADC_onChip example and ran into a few questions. I wonder if you can help 
me with. 
The nice thing about this example is it has a README.txt with all the 
procedures. The idea is to use rpmsg to communicate between arm and pru module 
and read out ADC value. I am using a Beaglebone Black wireless.Here is the 
basic procedures.
FILE STRUCTUREPRU_ADC  |  |--pru_adc_firmware.c firmware loaded into PRU0  |  
|--pru_adc_userspace       |--pru_adc_userspace.c userspace code that interacts 
with PRU0
BUILD FIRMWARE & USERSPACE CODE$ cd 
<PATH_TO_PRU_SW_SUPPORT_PACKAGE>/examples/am335x/PRU_ADC_onChip/$ make clean$ 
make$ cd pru_adc_userspace/$ make clean$ make
My BBB wireless can compile pru code successfully because I installed PRU_CGT 
compiler. But it is unable to compile ARM code. I think that is because ARM_CCT 
cross-compiler toochain environment is missing, in another word, I need to 
install processor-sdk-am335x
My first questions is can I install processor-sdk-am335x  into Debian system I 
currently have (Linux beaglebone 4.19.94-ti-r62 ) ? I am a little confused 
about the relationship between this SDK and Debian system. Why is the tutorial 
asking me to compile pru_adc_userspace.c  in the Beaglebone. I thought it is 
supposed to be executed in a cross-compilation environment.
I ended up installing processor-sdk-am335x on my linux desktop and compiled 
successfully. Then I copied the generated file back to BBB wireless. But when I 
tried to run the program, it shows the following error. 
Reading voltage at ADC Channel: 5/dev/rpmsg_pru30 could not be opened.Trying to 
initialize PRU using sysfs interface.ERROR: Could not open /dev/rpmsg_pru30
Attached is the excerpt where the problem happened. Could anyone help me with 
some hints of what is going on here? Much appreciated. 

struct shared_struct message;
 /* use character device /dev/rpmsg_pru30 */ char outputFilename[] = 
"/dev/rpmsg_pru30";
 /* test that /dev/rpmsg_pru30 exists */ FILE *ofp; uint16_t returnedVoltage; 
ofp = fopen(outputFilename, "r");
 if (ofp == NULL) {
 printf("/dev/rpmsg_pru30 could not be opened. \n"); printf("Trying to 
initialize PRU using sysfs interface.\n");
 FILE *sysfs_node; char firmware[] = 
"/sys/class/remoteproc/remoteproc1/firmware"; char firmwareName[] = 
"PRU_ADC_onChip.out"; sysfs_node = fopen(firmware, "r+"); if (sysfs_node == 
NULL) { printf("cannot open firmware sysfs_node"); return EXIT_FAILURE; } 
fwrite(&firmwareName, sizeof(uint8_t), sizeof(firmwareName), sysfs_node); 
fclose(sysfs_node);
 char pruState[] = "/sys/class/remoteproc/remoteproc1/state"; char start[] = 
"start"; sysfs_node = fopen(pruState, "r+"); if (sysfs_node == NULL) { 
printf("cannot open state sysfs_node"); return EXIT_FAILURE; } fwrite(&start, 
sizeof(uint8_t), sizeof(start), sysfs_node); fclose(sysfs_node);
 /* give RPMSG time to initialize */ sleep(3);
 ofp = fopen(outputFilename, "r");
 if (ofp == NULL) { printf("ERROR: Could not open /dev/rpmsg_pru30\n"); 
exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } }
