Regardless of the timing, you want to store 20,000 values but I think 
you've calculated correctly that you can only store 7,168 values in the 28k 
of combined PRU memory and that would only be true if some of the PRU 
memory wasn't used by your PRU program when it's loaded.

So are you trying to find a way to store the data back in the main host 
memory instead?  

Remoteproc/RPMSG can send the data back but I don't think it's fast enough 
for you. I'm doing that now with code written in C.  (It was a bear to 
learn and get going but I'm a rusty guy too. ) I am reading 12-bit AD with 
the onboard ADC (Touchscreen controller in general-purpose mode).    I saw 
one post on the TI E2E forum that indicated that Remoteproc/RPMSG is not 
intended to be a fast data transfer mechanism.   That was by a TI engineer 
I think.

The only alternative I can think of is declaring variables in your PRU code 
whose address is actually in the main host memory (Linux) space.   I've 
tried to do this using the example in Mark Yoder's PRU Cookbook but I could 
not get it to work.  I decided that I didn't really need that and went 
another route.

@TJF on this forum promotes a solution called libpruio that might work.  I 
don't know if it's fast enough though.

This is a good group so keep the discussion going and maybe we can figure 
something out.
