I looked into the manual for the datasheet/manual for PRUs in Beagle bone AM3358 Sitara. It have one Cortex-A8 and two PRUs which are 200Mhz Risc processors. Beside some things usuaully not available in micro controllers it have very similar peripherals as an ordinary Microcontroller although maybe a little bit more of them than usual. It have three HRPWM units, these are usually useful for power supplies running at a few hundred kHz or so and may be used also for servo motors but most probably have a lot more resolution than needed.
I do not think PWM or UART are made in software then using these devices because the harware is there and it would be a rather hard or impossible task at least then running a few peripherals at the same time. It is indeed a really good device but software PWM I do not believe as the hardware for is already there.
