Hi Justin! Thanks for the info on the rt needs.

They are badly documented, slow, not very flexible, they always miss the feature I need and they change from version to version. For my buisiness it doesn't make sense to follow a moving target. My systems must run reliable in a 24/7 manner. So instead, I configure the SoC registers directly by PRU code. All I need/use is the TRM for the SoC. This is much easier and faster than learning how to use kernel drivers (and update that knowledge all the time). And my code runs on any kernel version (as long as a new kernel version doesn't change default settings of the related registers).
