This is not something that would be in the TRM. This is related to the uio driver, and perhaps the uio_pruss driver is limiting the amount of ram used somehow. Or perhaps it's a uio driver limitation ? Pagefile size ? This would require some looking into. > > * My other question is :Is there a way that I can save the data from PRU > directly into the SDRAM of 512MB or on the SD card, or is it impossible ?If > so what are the corresponding addresses or methods to use them ?* > You're already storing data into 12M of the 512M DDR RAM. Nothing is impossible in this context, and all is possible. There are also multiple ways, but probably the easiest way will involve using POSIX IPC from userspace. Or you could even write a kernel module, if that's not much of a problem for you. Something you may want to keep in mind however. 12M is pushing the performance boundaries of just about any beaglebone media *except* memory. Meaning, no matter where where you plan on storing that data outside of DDR, it's going to take a considerable amount of time( figuratively speaking ) to move that data around. The onboard Ethernet for instance is only capable of around ~11.5M / second transfers. The sdcard interface is not much better, nor is the eMMC.
